C1Difficulty 3/5

During normal driving while maintaining steering control, the vehicle persistently pulls to one side without an apparent road or wind cause. What should you do?

Correct answer

Arrange steering and tyre checks without releasing the wheel to test it.

Have the vehicle checked, including steering and tyres. Alignment, tyre or steering-component problems may be involved; the symptom alone does not prove a particular ball-joint fault. Do not release the wheel to test it while driving. Maintain control and, if safe driving is impossible, stop somewhere safe and obtain assistance. Also follow the prescribed periodic maintenance.
