It would help to know what tires you're using and on which corner of the car they're mounted.

So yes I do but I did not have this problem under the same circumstances on my FRS. It has now been aligned and while the pulling has subsided it still wants to get squirrelly around a bend and the traction control goes nuts. All I know for sure is the I drove it for two months with the minor body damage on it and it handled fine. It wasn't until after it was fixed that I noticed problems. Issue now is that everything related to the suspension was confirmed fine by the shop so I am at a loss.

list the tires and their specs. Sounds like you could easily have traction control getting massively confused because the tires are different.

1. What are your tire pressures?

It can also be a worn out/faulty bushing or ball joint. I had that on my Accord a few year ago and the car acted really weird. It would wobble in mid corner when the suspension loaded up. Happened only on the side with the problem bushing. Do you have this happening to you when you turn in both directions?

So just an update. The car just needed a break in period I think with the new tires. An alignment and 4 new tires has seemed to of fixed the problem.
