Is New Car Pulling to One Side Covered by the Three Guarantees?
1 Answers
New car pulling to one side is covered by the three guarantees. Below are the reasons for a new car pulling to one side: 1. Tire pressure: Uneven tire pressure between the left and right tires. Normally, the front and rear tire pressure is around 2.0-2.5, with the front tires possibly slightly lower. During prolonged driving, the contact area and force distribution of the left and right tires become uneven, leading to inconsistent tire pressure over time, causing the car to pull towards the side with lower tire pressure. The solution is to replenish the tire pressure. 2. Tire tread: Uneven wear on the left and right tire treads. Differences in steering and road surface conditions lead to varying tire wear. When one side's tread is excessively worn, its diameter becomes smaller, causing the car to pull towards that side. The solution, apart from replacing the tire, is to swap the front tire with the rear tire on the same side if it's a front tire. 3. Shock absorber: The shock absorber springs have varying degrees of metal fatigue, meaning the travel of the springs on both sides is inconsistent. One side being higher or lower causes the car body to tilt, leading to the car pulling to one side. 4. Brake system: Brake system malfunction, commonly known as uneven braking. If one side's brake caliper is not functioning properly and the brake pads do not fully retract, that wheel remains under braking while driving, also causing the car to pull to one side.
