Not the alignment, NOT THE ALIGNMENT

My car has been pulling right for some time now, cause unknown. I clipped a curb one night (slightly less than sober) and have had 2 fender-benders. The car has had 4 alignments(various shops), and i recently took it to a frame shop where it checked out o.k. It still pulls to the right, and is chewing up the outside edge of my front passenger side tire. i rotated the front to back, no change. Im out of ideas. Anyone please...

ya, camber was checked during the alignments i had done, and was always normal. I was told though, that our camber is non-adjustable.

Torque steer. Almost all FWD cars pull to the right. It's just a fact of life.

Although the front camber is not adjustable from the factory did they tell you what the camber readings were? There have been other posts where people have said one side was set at 0 degrees and the other side was positive as much as a degree. This may be the case, you might need camber bolts to correct any variation from the factory.
