What Causes a Truck to Pull to One Side?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons for a vehicle pulling to one side: 1. Changes in wheel alignment data: Variations in wheel alignment data can cause the vehicle to pull to one side, especially for vehicles frequently driven on rough roads, as wheel alignment parameters are prone to change. The vehicle pulling to one side is mainly related to the front wheel camber angle. If the camber angles of the two front wheels are inconsistent, the vehicle will pull towards the side with the larger camber angle. 2. Abnormalities in the vehicle's steering system: For example, bending or deformation of the steering knuckle arm or steering knuckle can generally cause the vehicle to pull to one side. The most severe issue is severe wear and loosening of the tie rod ends, which can lead to steering failure, causing the vehicle to lose control completely. 3. Faults in the suspension system: If the front shock absorber springs are deformed or one side fails, it can result in uneven suspension height, leading to uneven force distribution and causing the vehicle to pull to one side.
