How to Adjust Brake Pulling to the Left?

[Barnes]

Perform adjustments and repairs on the braking system. During testing, if the brake marks are inconsistent, the pulling is caused by the braking system. The focus should be on the front wheel brakes. Adjust and repair the steering system. If the brake marks are basically consistent but the vehicle still pulls, check whether the ball joints in the steering system are loose. Inspect the front axle suspension for looseness. Pay special attention to the shackle and spring pins, as well as the height and tension of the springs on both sides to ensure they are consistent.

Last time I drove my old car, I encountered the issue of the brakes pulling to the left. It felt quite dangerous—when I stepped on the brake, the car veered left, nearly causing an accident. After getting home, I thought about it and did a simple check on the left front wheel's brake pads and disc. I noticed that the friction surface of the right pad was almost gone, showing obvious uneven wear. So, I asked a friend to help me replace the brake pads and adjusted the piston travel of the caliper to ensure more even force distribution. Also, remember to check that the tire pressure is equal on both sides, as uneven pressure can contribute to the issue. If you don’t have the tools, it’s best to visit a professional repair shop for proper calibration to prevent the problem from worsening. Always pay attention to brake response while driving to catch any abnormalities early—it saves trouble and keeps you safe.

I often tinker with my car and have encountered the issue of brakes pulling to the left a few times. If you're doing it yourself, first measure the braking force on both sides using a simple torque wrench to check the wheel rotation resistance. If you find that the left wheel has more resistance, it might be due to a stuck caliper or a warped rotor, requiring lubrication or replacement of parts. However, don't push yourself too hard. If the brake fluid is uneven or the lines are clogged, it's best to call in a professional to bleed or clean the system. It's also a good habit to regularly inspect the brake system, such as checking the pads and rotors every 10,000 kilometers, to prevent small issues from turning into big, costly problems.

Braking to the left usually indicates unequal braking force between the left and right sides, likely with the left being stronger than the right. There are many possible causes, such as uneven brake pad wear, improperly released calipers, or unbalanced tire pressure. You can quickly check by first ensuring equal tire pressure on both sides, then gently applying the brakes to listen for any unusual noises. If these factors are ruled out, attention should be paid to brake system adjustments, which may require balancing hydraulic pressure or calibrating components. If you can't resolve it, don't take risks—seek professional repair immediately to ensure safety.
