Why Does the Steering Wheel Pull to the Right?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why the steering wheel pulls to the right: 1. Uneven tire pressure: Uneven tire pressure is a significant cause of vehicle drift. Check tire pressure every 5,000 kilometers to ensure the pressure difference among all four tires is within 0.1 bar. 2. Bent or deformed steering knuckle arm or knuckle: If the steering knuckle arm or knuckle is bent or deformed, it usually causes the vehicle to drift in one direction. The most severe case is when the tie rod end is severely worn and becomes loose, leading to steering failure, which will result in a complete loss of vehicle control. It is recommended to visit a professional auto repair shop for inspection and timely replacement of vehicle parts. 3. Poor brake release or incomplete separation: If the brake on one wheel does not release properly or fails to separate completely, it is equivalent to applying partial braking on one side continuously, causing the vehicle to drift inevitably. During inspection, you can feel the temperature of the wheel hubs. If one wheel is significantly hotter than the others, it indicates poor brake release on that wheel.
