What to Do When the Car Pulls to One Side?
1 Answers
If the car pulls to one side, first check whether the tire wear is even under normal tire pressure, and replace the tires in time if there is a problem. Then check whether the lower control arm, ball joint, and CV joint are normal. If everything is normal, you can only perform a four-wheel alignment first and then make corresponding adjustments. You can also adjust the tie rod to solve the car's pulling problem. Here are the specific reasons for the car pulling to one side: 1. The tie rod is an important part of the car's steering mechanism, which directly affects the stability of the car's handling, the safety of operation, and the service life of the tires. Secondly, check the stabilizer bar and steering gear. The steering gear may be mechanical and worn too much, or the steering tie rod may have excessive clearance. All these should be checked before alignment. If no parts are damaged, it may be that the steering gear has excessive clearance, and the misaligned steering wheel can be corrected by adjusting the toe-in. If the steering gear is problematic, it can also be replaced. 2. When the front shock absorber springs are deformed and the damping on both sides is inconsistent, it can also cause the car to pull to one side. The condition of the shock absorber springs can be judged by pressing or comparing after disassembly. When the front shock absorber fails, the two suspensions are at different heights during driving, resulting in uneven force distribution and causing the car to pull to one side. The absorption of the shock absorber can be tested with a special testing device to determine its condition. If disassembly is not possible, the condition can be judged by stretching.
