Why do autos pull to either the right or left?

Answer by  wingdog987 (154)

I've had problem and it was a bad tire. Try swithching tires. Also it could be brakes on one side adjusted up too tight. Another thing is a car that has been in an accident with bent frame or chassis. Or defective brakes.

Cheapest fix is check the tire pressure. If one is low or too high it will pull to one side. A little more expensive is the alignment.

One of the biggest reasons a vehicle might do this is due to brakes wearing out. Other causes could be a brake caliper sticking, a bent tie rod or some other suspension piece broken or worn.

This is an alignment issue. If you haven't performed an alignment in the past 2 years you definery should. This will help gas millage and tire wear and should fix your pulling problem. Also this can be bent tie rods or control arms if you have hit a curb hard or been involved in an accident.

The reason a car pulls to either side is that the wheel alignment is off. the wheels or wheel point ever so slightly to one side and the car follows. An alignment at a auto shop will fix this.
