If your car veers either to the side, one likely explanation is that your vehicle has come out of alignment. In short, the normal tendency for cars and SUVs to roll in a straight line is due to the natural direction of its wheels. Assuming that there are no issues with your tire size or pressure, if yours is pulling to the right, it’s likely that your car wheel alignment could use an adjustment.
What is a Wheel Alignment?
“In its most basic form, a wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. The purpose of these adjustments is maximum tire life and a vehicle that tracks straight and true when driving along a straight and level road.”
