96 accord pulling to the right
My 96 accord dx was pulling to the right very badly (to go straight I have to turn the wheel to about 11 o clock) and needed new tires cause the front ones were worn down very badly on the inside rim.
So I took it in got 4 new tires and an alignment, and after all that it's still pulling to the right just like before.
Ive checked to make sure tire pressure was the same on all tires.
Heres the printout showing the alignment report. I would greatly appreciate any help or insight into this.

They barely got the rear within spec. And it is at the max specification from their chart. Who did the alignment?
Has the car had any other work done lately? Has it hit a curb/pothole recently (by you or any other driver)?

Big Chief Tire did the alignment.
Im the only driver and I havent hit anything out of the ordinary that I can think of.
I just did have normal maintenance work done transmission fluid, timing belt, water pump done.
As well as a left front cv axle put on cause the boot broke off and it was ate up with sand and dirt. But that was before todays alignment and new tires. But it was pulling to the right before all that work as well.
Should I take it back and ask them to check the alignment again or ask them to get the rear down more? Its a very smooth steady pull to the right, very noticable if I take my hands off the steering wheel.

They didn't align it right. Your right front toe is -0.05 and left front 0.00. Front toe should both be at 0.00 degrees.
The rear toe should be about 0.08 degrees. They set your rear toe exactly at the max positive.
Whoever aligned your vehicle is an amateur.

^print that out, and tell them if it doesnt match those specs... legal actions will be taken if you get in an accident due to their negligence
