if you hit a curb does your alignment go off?
 
i hit a curb and bent a rim so i switched the rims and everythin looked ok except it pulls right. what usually happens when you hit a curb?

I've never hit a curb that hard but I once made the mistake of taking my CRX down a logging road and I hit a rock hard enough to knock the alignment off a little bit so I imagine that a curb could do the same thing.

Yes your alignment could have been knocked off. Hopefully you didn't bend any steering/suspension parts.

If it pulls it can be:
1 a tire (preshure or radial tire pull)
2 caster problem
3 camber problem
2&3 are non adjustable (I am asuming its your civic) only toe, but toe wont make it pull just ware tires and crocked steering wheel.
If its 1 of your civic's you would be suprized how easy it is to bend the uni body :-\
