What Causes the Vehicle to Pull to One Side When Braking?

[Sophia]

The reasons for the vehicle pulling to one side when braking are: 1. Uneven tire pressure; 2. Different tire tread patterns or varying tread depths; 3. Deformation of the front shock absorber springs; 4. Failure of the front shock absorbers; 5. Body deformation; 6. Excessive wear of chassis components; 7. Incorrect wheel alignment; 8. Brake system malfunction. Directional pull refers to the phenomenon where the vehicle, while driving straight on a flat road, automatically veers to one side, causing the centerline connecting the front and rear axles to deviate from the centerline of the driving trajectory. Methods to adjust directional pull include: 1. Slightly adjusting the steering wheel to the right if the vehicle pulls to the left, and to the left if it pulls to the right; 2. Rotating or replacing the tires; 3. Replacing the suspension springs.
