Alignment Help Please!

So I just got my 06 2.4 used and it pulls a very decent amount to the right. I raced my friend and almost slammed him cuz punching it threw it to the right. So i figured, I need an alignment right? Then I read this...

"If the camber is different from side to side it can cause a pulling problem. The vehicle will pull to the side with the more positive camber. On many front-wheel-drive vehicles, camber is not adjustable. If the camber is out on these cars, it indicates that something is worn or bent, possibly from an accident and must be repaired or replaced."

Any ideas or help please?

if it only pulls under WOT then its probably just TQ steer, but if it pulls when just cruising or idling, then yea, you got an alignment problem.

if it is the alignment, go get your car aligned professionally, and if need be, they have adjustable camber pieces to help out as well, and theyre pretty cheap
