Could be alignment issues. Or worn out shocks and or sway bar bushings. If any of these items are original, then they are worn out.
I've got 232,000 on mine and they are still in good shape. I,m sure the bushings are a little hard but the car handles very well and runs straight and true. My guess would be the tie rod ends, bad bushings on the control arms or bad ball joints. Should be easy to spot if you raise the car and move the wheel around. See if it moves from side to side or it tips in or out.

i havent brought it yet.. but it kind of scary lol.. my buddy says the frame is bent!!... so im guessing i have to get it to a frame bender.. lol im not sure if its more work to do that.. or just take the frame off my car right now.. 87lx
Well.....Our Accords dont have frames per se. They are (spot welded) unit body construction. It's really just a frame made of sheet metal.
Assuming your car has not been involved in an accident, its unlikely the frame is bent. A safe guess is the alignment (front toe settings in particular) is wacked. The those front tires are pigeon toed out....then the car WILL be all over the road.
actually taht sounds exactly like all the symptoms.. but my friend told me.. its really a bend upper frame? lol
