2001 Honda Accord Alignment Issue

Hi,
I need help on determining the cause of an alignment issue. I bought a used 2001 Honda Accord DX for $2900 with $95k on the engine, and took it to an auto shop for alignment job. The car pulls to the right after steering wheel is released. Initially I thought it's just a typical alignment job, but the mechanic said it might be the front right strut is bent or the car frame is twisted. After having him done the job, I notice that it still drifts to the right but not as bad as before the alignment job. He said i can just drive as it is now, and it won't wear out the front right tire that fast. The previous owner has his front right tire was bald and the left one still good, and I replaced them with two new ones.
Anyone has experience with this issue? or any advice how to fix it? could it just be the front right strut bent, and replace the two front struts? My thought is that probably needs new front struts since it is ten 11 years old and with almost 100k miles.
Thanks,
Car Novice

There probably is something bent in the suspension but we would need to know the alignment measurements to be able to tell you how serious it is. If they gave you a printout, scan it and post it here.
