Car drifts to right (apparently not alignment)
Ok, so the quick and the simple. I was turning left out of a parking lot 2 weeks ago when I hit a curb with my front right tire. I was going about 5 miles and hour or so and the impact popped the tire. Now, if I am driving on a flat, level plane...my car drifts to the right and my steering wheel turns with it. It is not a jerky kind of drift, but once it starts it steadily increases in severity.
I had the alignment checked, it all turned out great. I had it checked again, same story. I jacked up the car, grabbed both wheels at 9 & 3, ::wiggle::, 12 & 6, ::wiggle::, solid. Nothing looks bent underneath or behind the wheels.
Tires are all the same age since I decided to replace them all when I popped the one since they were all the stock tires. Also, inflation is the same.
I have no idea what is wrong. God forbid it is the frame. I am about to take it to the dealership I bought it from a while back and have them look at it since I got a "maintenance plan" with them and everything but the cup holders is covered.
Anyone got a suggestion?

It's probably the alignment read my post https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/1001472-what-fxck-does-take-get-correct-alignment.html

It took me four times to get the problem solved, seems mechanics are too lazy today to work on something.
You could also swap tires side to side, see if that changes anything.
