FAQs

A wheel alignment will fix a car pulling to one side if the cause is related to incorrect wheel angles.

During a wheel alignment, the position of the wheels is adjusted to match the manufacturer’s specifications, ensuring the vehicle tracks straight and evenly. This is one of the most common and effective solutions.

However, if the pull is caused by worn components, tyre damage or brake issues, those problems will need to be addressed before or alongside the alignment. Otherwise, the issue may return even after adjustment.

Yes, uneven tyre pressure is one of the most common and easily overlooked reasons for a car pulling to one side.

If one tyre has lower pressure than the others, it creates increased rolling resistance, which causes the vehicle to drift in that direction. Even a small difference in pressure can affect how the car tracks on the road, particularly at higher speeds.

Checking and correcting tyre pressure is often the quickest first step when diagnosing this issue.

If your car pulls to one side during acceleration but feels normal when braking, it is often linked to issues within the steering or suspension system rather than the brakes.

Common causes include:

• worn suspension components such as control arms or bushings
• uneven tyre grip between the left and right sides
• alignment issues that become more noticeable under load

When accelerating, weight shifts to the rear of the vehicle, which can exaggerate small imbalances in the front suspension or steering geometry. If the issue only occurs under acceleration, it is best to have the steering and suspension system inspected.
