Why Does the Car Pull to One Side?
1 Answers
There are three main reasons why a car may pull to one side: 1. Uneven tire pressure on the drive wheels, causing different levels of wear between the drive wheels and the road surface, leading to pulling; 2. Suspension system malfunctions, such as damage, deformation, or misalignment of the suspension, can cause the car to pull; 3. Uneven wheelbase on the left and right sides, causing the car to veer toward the side with the shorter wheelbase when driving. Uneven tire pressure: Primarily caused by inconsistent tire pressure on the drive wheels. If the tire pressure differs between the left and right sides, it leads to uneven wear between the drive wheels and the road surface, and the resulting difference in friction can directly cause the car to pull. Solution: Visit an auto maintenance and repair shop to check the tire pressure. Suspension system malfunction: Issues such as damage, deformation, or misalignment of the suspension can cause the car to pull. These problems are relatively serious, so once detected, it's advisable to have them inspected and repaired promptly. Uneven wheelbase on the left and right sides: Over prolonged use, vehicles are prone to impacts. If the overall structure of the vehicle becomes deformed, resulting in a significant difference in wheelbase between the two sides, and if this is not corrected in time or if the correction does not meet technical requirements, the car will veer toward the side with the shorter wheelbase when driving.
