Do you mean your whole car sits at an angle now? Like this \

You've either got a really jacked up tire (been wearing very badly) or you've done something wrong when you did the rotation (not that there's much to mess up).... that's freakin' weird man...

Sounds like he went from RF to LR and LF to RR...

You can do that with non-radials, but not radials.. you'd better know what you have before going diagonal like that.

It pulls cause your tires are worn funny, let them wear down a bit and it'll probably straighten out.. You may need an alignment though too.

i bought my 98 civic ex used a year ago, it drove straight as a whistle even though two of the tires were shot to hell . . . .but as soon as honda rotated the tires it pulls like crazy to the right.

they said it was tire pull cuz the wear was uneven on the tires. im juss gettin new ones all around
