Pulling can involve tires, alignment, brakes or road conditions.

Prompt inspection

What it can mean

A sudden pull during braking or after impact deserves immediate inspection.

What to do next

  1. Check tire pressure and obvious damage when safe.
  2. Do not compensate for a strong or worsening pull at highway speed.
  3. Inspect brakes, tires, alignment and suspension.

Possible causes to test

  • Unequal tire pressure or tire damage
  • Brake drag
  • Wheel alignment
  • Suspension or steering damage
