Car Steering Problems
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.

Car Steering Problems
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.
