When to act urgently
Strong pulling under braking or sudden directional change requires prompt inspection.
Common possible causes
- Unequal tyre pressure
- Alignment issue
- Binding brake
- Worn steering or suspension
What you can safely check
- Compare tyre pressures
- Note whether it occurs constantly or only while braking
- Inspect tyres for obvious damage
What not to attempt
Avoid dismantling safety-critical, pressurised, hot or high-voltage systems without suitable training and equipment. Generic symptoms are not enough to choose a repair.
How a workshop diagnoses it
A technician will confirm the symptom, review relevant vehicle information and use physical, electronic or measured tests as appropriate. The aim is to separate the underlying cause from related symptoms.
