Isolating Pulling SymptomsConsistent pulling to one side in a car driven straight ahead on a level road may be caused by either suspension misalignment or a faulty tire. In more unusual cases, a brake problem may be the cause. To help decide whether tires or alignment are at fault, temporarily swap the front tires and then road test the car. If a tire problem is the cause of the pulling symptom, the problem should switch to the other side of the car when the tires are switched, and it should now pull to the other side. If the symptom is unchanged, then the problem is probably alignment, which is unaffected by swapping tires. |
