What are the methods to deal with a car pulling to the right?

The methods to deal with a car pulling to the right are: 1. Check and adjust using a four-wheel alignment instrument; 2. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure on both sides and inflate them to the same level; 3. Inspect the tread wear condition on both sides of the tires; 4. Use a four-wheel alignment instrument to check the wheelbase on both sides. If the wheelbase difference is too large, use a body correction instrument to restore the deformation. Reasons for a car pulling to one side while driving: 1. Uneven tire pressure on both sides; 2. Uneven tread wear on both sides of the tires; 3. Poor retraction of the brake caliper piston on one side of the vehicle; 4. Inconsistent preload of the wheel hub bearings on both sides; 5. Uneven wheelbase on both sides of the tires.
Last time my car kept pulling to the right, making my arms sore from driving. First check the tire pressure - low pressure in the right tire is a common cause. Use a tire gauge to measure both sides, and adjust if the difference exceeds 0.2 kg. Then carefully examine the tire tread wear - if the right front tire is more worn, try swapping the tires left and right. If it still pulls, you'll need a wheel alignment, which takes about half an hour at a repair shop and costs just a few dozen bucks. Don't ignore brake issues either - a stuck right brake caliper can drag the car right. Check if the brake disc is hot and clean it if necessary. Damaged suspension parts like ball joints can also cause this - simply shake the wheel to check for looseness. Don't delay repairs - fixing it promptly saves fuel and ensures safety. Regularly maintain proper tire pressure and check tire condition during routine maintenance.
