What are the causes of car brake pulling?
1 Answers
The reasons for brake pulling include the following points: 1. Unilateral brake pad wear or hub inner ring wear; Uneven tire wear causing inconsistent friction on both sides; 2. Frame deformation resulting in uneven force distribution; 3. Broken load-bearing shock absorbers or oil leakage causing center of gravity deviation; 4. Improper brake adjustment leading to uneven braking force distribution. Solutions for right-side brake pulling: 1. Different braking torque on left and right sides of the same axle causes unilateral braking. Common causes include brake caliper oil leakage, piston rust, drum brake pad contamination, or different surface roughness between brake disc/pad or drum/pad. These should be inspected and repaired accordingly. 2. Different tire pressure, tread patterns, or wear levels between two sides can cause unequal actual rolling radii, leading to vehicle drift even without braking. 3. Improper body repair after accidents causing unequal wheelbase, suspension component issues like deformed control arms, bent shock absorbers, failed components, loose suspension ball joints, or deformed connecting rods - all of which can interfere with braking coordination. Additionally, incorrect wheel alignment may also cause this phenomenon.
