After talking to you on the phone and looking at your alignment readings, I still think you have a problem in the front passenger wheel well. I've never seen caster be that different between sides like that. And as for the camber being off, its very possible your upper control arm may have a problem like we spoke about. You did mention to me that pothole you hit was on the passenger front and it seems it did more damage than you initially thought. I want to see what Thien says could be the problem, but I'm pretty sure I'm right here.

You are out of spec on the front right camber. You are off by almost half a degree, which will cause some inside wear on that right front. Your caster is still in spec. So, I doubt it will pull. Your rear camber is right on the money. Rear camber on the Accords (except DX/SE models) is -1.0 degree of camber. You will need a front camber kit to correct that right front camber. Please refer to this pic of where your specs are. From there you will know if you are out of spec, and it will also tell if you will have any tire wear.

I guess he has money to burn. I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs. Fucking amateurs. :

lol. i got a good explanation . coming from my mechanic point of view. when the dumbass aligned your car. he didn't have the steering wheel straight. when you do an alignment move the steering wheel to measure caster. then you straighten it and set it with a spring loaded bar. then align it. after you are suppose to straighten the wheel and it takes the final measure of toe. the guy didn't re straighten the wheel. hence why it looks like its on.

Here is another perspective you have to take into consideration. Most Firestone has a Hunter DSP600 or newer machine. It has the program called Win Toe. Win Toe compensates when the steering wheel is turned during toe adjustment, and you do not need a steering wheel lock. I personally work at Firestone myself, and I have never had a comeback on my alignments even with the use of Win Toe. Also, the guys probably didn't test drive it. There are a lot of half ass techs out there. They will take shortcuts to make their life easier.

Well hopefully with the install of a front camber kit will fix my issues, at least I know why the techs were having issues aligning my car. I'm going to swap tires with my wifes CM this week, that way I'm not wearing my new tires uneven. I could care less about her old Fuzions.
Something I just thought of. When they aligned it on Friday they told me it was all in spec, so they aligned it again on Tuesday and my right front is out -1.2? hmmmmmmm
