What Causes the Steering Wheel to Slightly Lean to the Left?
1 Answers
There is a situation where the vehicle tends to veer to the left, meaning that while driving straight on a flat road, the steering wheel naturally leans to the left, causing the car's front and rear axle centerline to deviate from the centerline of the driving trajectory. Common causes include the following: 1. Uneven tire pressure on both sides. The solution is to inflate both tires to the standard pressure. Additionally, check if the wear on both wheels is uneven, leading to differences in wheel diameter and traction. 2. Uneven tread wear can cause veering. Damaged springs and shock absorbers should be inspected, especially on the lower side, to see if the spring is overly compressed due to insufficient elasticity or if the shock absorber is leaking oil. 3. Suspension damage, deformation, or misalignment can also lead to veering. 4. The condition of the steering system will also affect the car's straight-line driving.
