How to Adjust Vehicle Pulling to the Right?
3 Answers
Vehicle pulling to the right can be adjusted through wheel alignment. During driving, collisions are inevitable, and after the tires are impacted, the wheel alignment may deviate slightly. The supporting components of the car's chassis may also undergo minor deformations due to bumps or vibrations. Wheel alignment is an effective method to address vehicle pulling. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, ensuring optimal driving performance and reliability through adjustments. The installation of the steering wheels, steering knuckles, and front axle in a car has specific relative positions. This installation with defined relative positions is called steering wheel alignment, also known as front wheel alignment.
My car has been pulling to the right recently, making driving quite tiring. I tried measuring the tire pressure myself and found that the right front tire was significantly lower. After inflating it with a pump, it improved slightly. But the problem wasn't completely solved. After checking online, I learned that uneven tire tread wear or incorrect wheel alignment could be the main causes. I quickly went to a nearby repair shop where they checked the suspension and steering system, then adjusted the alignment and toe angle. Now it's back to normal. I've also developed a habit of checking tire pressure and tread monthly to prevent safety risks from misalignment. After all, driving a misaligned car can cause fatigue and increase the chance of accidents—never just make do with it.
As someone who frequently repairs cars, I must say that a vehicle pulling to the right is commonly caused by wheel alignment or tire issues. First, manually measure the tire pressure of each wheel to ensure balance, then test to see if the pulling persists. If it's an alignment problem, you need to visit a professional shop to adjust the camber and toe angles. Worn suspension components, such as loose ball joints, should also be replaced to address the root cause. During the adjustment, it's best to check the steering linkage, but fixing only the alignment might provide a temporary solution. From a safety perspective, a misaligned vehicle increases the risk of steering loss and potential collisions. The repair cost is relatively low, and maintenance is straightforward.
