What Causes Brake Pulling?
1 Answers
Brake pulling can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Unilateral brake pad wear or hub inner ring wear. 2. Unilateral tire wear, resulting in inconsistent friction on both sides. 3. Frame deformation causing uneven force distribution. 4. Differences in tire pressure, tread patterns, or wear levels between two sides can lead to unequal actual rolling radii, causing the vehicle to pull even without braking. 5. Uneven braking torque on left and right sides of the same axle, leading to unilateral deviation. Common causes include leaking wheel cylinders, rusted pistons, oil-contaminated drum brake shoes, or different surface roughness between brake discs/pads or drums/shoes.
