Why is My Car Drifting and Pulling?
Have you ever found yourself behind the wheel, cruising down the roads of Westwood, Dedham, or Needham, Massachusetts, maintaining a steady course, yet your car seems to have a mind of its own, gently pulling to one side?
At Audi Westwood, our team understands the importance of a smooth and controlled ride. That's why we're here to answer the question: why is my car drifting and pulling?
Answering Your Question: An Overview of Vehicle Alignment
Your car's unexpected drift or pull may be attributed to a common culprit—misaligned wheels. The precision of your vehicle's alignment plays a crucial role in maintaining a straight course. Over time, factors like potholes, rough terrain, or even minor collisions can disrupt this alignment. When the wheels are not perfectly parallel, the result is a sensation of the car veering to one side.

Preventative Action: Maintaining Your Vehicle’s Alignment
As mentioned before, there are plenty of factors that play into your vehicle’s alignment. Staying aware of the elements that affect your alignment can help you maximize the efficient performance of your ride. First and foremost, be mindful of road conditions, avoiding potholes and uneven surfaces whenever possible. If these road conditions are unavoidable, adjusting your speed can prevent any sudden jerks and jolts to the alignment.
Services for Vehicle Misalignment
Preventing vehicle misalignment starts with proactive maintenance. Regularly check your tire pressure to ensure they are inflated to the manufacturer's specifications. Your recommended tire pressure finds purpose in providing an equal weight distribution amongst each tire. Adequate tire pressure promotes even wear and minimizes the risk of misalignment.
Additionally, other aspects of your vehicle, such as the steering components, brake systems, suspension systems, and wheel bearings, should be inspected during routine services to provide insight into your ride’s alignment.
Staying on top of the services revolving around your wheel alignment both preserves your vehicle's performance and enhances overall driving performance, contributing to a more stable and controlled ride.
