How to Test for Steering Pull?
1 Answers
The simplest method is to download a level-type APP on your smartphone, fix the phone onto the steering wheel, and then observe the degree of deflection when turning the steering wheel, which is very intuitive. Secondly, ensure that the tire pressure of all four tires is exactly the same. On a straight and flat road, when the vehicle maintains a straight-line drive and the steering wheel is centered without any pull, the car is functioning normally. More details are as follows: 1. Steering pull refers to the phenomenon where a vehicle, while driving straight on a flat road, naturally veers to one side, causing the centerline of the front and rear axles to deviate from the centerline of the driving trajectory. 2. A minor pull can lead to uneven tire wear or even tire failure, while a severe pull may cause dangerous situations like tire blowouts or loss of vehicle control. Steering pull is a relatively dangerous vehicle malfunction. 3. If not corrected in time, it can easily lead to minor accidents during daily driving, especially on highways where a vehicle with steering pull issues can be extremely hazardous.
