Category: 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.
