When the car drifts to the right while moving forward, which direction should I steer?

When the car drifts to the right while moving forward, you should steer to the left. Avoid making sudden directional changes while driving. During straight-line driving, focus your gaze far ahead while using your peripheral vision to monitor the front of the car, rearview mirrors, and surrounding vehicles. Steering Wheel: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, aircraft, etc. In the 1950s, concept cars without steering wheels were introduced. Steering Wheel Frame: Typically made of zinc alloy or aluminum alloy, the frame is produced through die-casting. Common Issues: Steering wheel lock, steering wheel damage, steering wheel vibration, wheel wobble or steering wheel oscillation, and heavy steering.
With over 20 years of driving experience, I've encountered the issue of the car pulling to the right many times. Essentially, you need to steer slightly to the left to straighten the direction. The reasons are usually quite straightforward: it could be uneven road surfaces causing the wheels to drift, a crosswind pushing the car off course, or more commonly, uneven tire pressure—left tires being harder and right tires softer, leading to instability. When correcting, avoid abrupt movements; just gently steer a bit to the left, and the car will gradually realign. I remember once on a long highway drive, strong winds clearly pushed the car to the right, so I made minor left adjustments to the steering, keeping everything steady without issues. However, if this happens frequently, it might indicate tire wear or suspension misalignment, and I’d recommend getting a four-wheel alignment check at a 4S shop. Regularly checking tire pressure and wheel conditions can prevent such problems. Safe driving is key—don’t let minor issues turn into major troubles.
