1 Answers
Reasons for the steering wheel pulling to one side when braking: 1. Issues with the brake caliper, affecting the braking force on different wheels; 2. Related to wheel alignment; 3. The front brake pads are too thin. Solutions: 1. Pay attention to tire and brake system inspections during maintenance; 2. Perform wheel alignment; 3. Replace the brake pads. Vehicle pulling refers to the phenomenon where a car, while driving straight on a flat road, drifts to one side on its own, causing the line connecting the centers of the front and rear axles to not align with the centerline of the driving trajectory. Minor pulling can lead to uneven tire wear or tire damage, while severe cases may result in dangerous situations like tire blowouts or loss of vehicle control.
