Why Does a Car Pull to One Side?

[StHazel]

The reasons for a car pulling to one side: 1. Misaligned steering wheel: The vehicle may pull to one side due to an inherently misaligned steering wheel, which can be corrected through a four-wheel alignment; 2. Road factors: Roads are often designed with a higher center and lower sides for drainage purposes. Under the influence of the vehicle's own weight, the steering wheel tends to turn toward the lower side of the road, leading to a tendency to pull in that direction. The degree of pulling is affected by the road's slope—the steeper the slope, the more pronounced the pull; 3. Influence of crosswinds: When driving at high speeds in open areas such as exiting tunnels, overpasses, or bridges, rapidly moving air currents are common. Therefore, vehicles may be affected when exiting tunnels or driving at high speeds in open areas, causing occasional pulling to one side. This is a normal phenomenon and does not require repair.
