Why Is My Car Steering To One Side?

Why Is My Car Steering To One Side?

While driving, there are a number of internal car-related issues that can arise. Such issues include running low on gas, a near-dead battery, or a need to check engine oil. However, all of these concerns are indicated by your vehicle – a light will come on, telling you when one of these problems arise, so you know it needs to be dealt with in the near future. The scariest issues are the ones where no light comes on – where you have no clue what could possibly be wrong.

An example of such an issue is when your car pulls to one side, but not by choice. Normally, cars designed to drive on the right side of the road will pull slightly to the right, and cars designed to drive on the left side of the road will pull slightly to the left. This pull is extremely light, and is only to prevent a car from entering oncoming traffic if the driver dozes off. If your car’s pull is not extremely light, you have a problem.

Luckily, the tire experts a Hogan Tire & Auto can assist you with deducing what the issue is.

Reasons for Excessive Pull to One Side

  1. If the vehicular alignment of the axle that the wheels rest on isn’t straight, then the tires will not be parallel, which can make the car pull.

  2. If the brake hose becomes clogged or the brakes are not releasing freely it can cause a pull to one side.

  3. If tires are not rotated over time, one tire may experience more wear than the others, causing the vehicle to pull to that side.

  4. When the tire pressure on any specific tire is lower than the pressure of its counterpart on the opposing side of the car, the car will pull towards the low pressure.

With tire shops and auto service centers throughout eastern Massachusetts, Hogan Tire & Auto is here to help. Specializing in all kinds of tires and auto repair, we can assist you with any problems you may be having.
