I have a 2000 Honda Civic and to make a long story short I drove strainght up onto a curb head on and landed up on a dirt road. The right rim cracked and therefore made the tire go flat. I changed tires and of course the rims to both front tires, the car isn't making any wierd noises but it's pulling to the right so I know i messed up the algnment (i think) Anyways can you help me do you think it could just be the alignment or something else. Nothing happened to to the front end it was just the right time that got the most damaged. Thanks

Please explain the last sentence of your text. I would without a doubt take the vehicle in to have it aligned. I know it will take an extra $50 from your pocket but the new tires will last longer. The mechanic that does the alignment will be looking over the front suspension and steering. Tell them what happened and they can look with a trained eye for any other damage.

Have the Civic professionally aligned and ask the shop to inspect the front suspension and steering for damage from the curb impact. Tell them exactly what happened so they can check beyond the alignment.
