Truck pulling left or right
Pulling is often related to alignment, steering/ suspension wear, or tyre factors.
Getting this checked promptly helps maintain safety and prevents uneven tyre wear.
Why this happens
Common causes:
Misalignment
Wheels not angled correctly after impact or wear
Uneven tyre pressure or wear
Creates imbalance in handling
Worn suspension or steering parts
Bushes, tie rods, or ball joints
Brake issues
One side dragging or not releasing properly
Road camber
Sometimes normal on crowned roads, but shouldn't be severe
Load distribution
Uneven loading can influence handling
Quick Check: What To Do Now
Drive carefully and avoid high speeds until checked; pulling can affect control
Check tyre pressures are even and correct for your load
Book an inspection soon to prevent uneven tyre wear and further damage
