Auto Diagnose Trouble Symptoms: While braking your car you encountered car pulling to one side.

Auto Diagnose: This kind of problem has some thing to do with your car front tires, car front ends or car front brakes and nothing to do with your car rear tires, rear ends and rear brakes because your car front ends and front tires controls your car steering and your car front brakes do most of the braking, so lets find out which of the three is the problem.

The first one and the most easy to check is your car front tires, using a tire pressure gauge check your car front tires find out if one of your front tires has more air than the other, you can also visually check your front tires by comparing the bulging at bottom of each tire. Unevenly inflated front tires will cause your car to pulls to one side especially when braking.

Auto Diagnose Caused: Imbalance tire pressure on front tires

Auto Specialist Advice: Add proper amount of air on the under inflated tire.

If for instance upon checking on the tire pressure of your front tires and you found that it has an even tire pressure then you can ruled out the imbalance tire pressure problem, you may proceed with another evaluation.

The next one to check is the front end alignment by doing a simple road test, drive your car to a straight and level road, slightly relax your grip on the steering wheel for a second and notice if the vehicle will pull to one side (either left side or right side), take note that you do not have to step on the brake to determine if the vehicle will pull even when the brakes are not applied. If your car pulls to one side even when the brake is not applied then there is a positioning problem among your car front end.

Car Problems Cause: Front end is out of alignment

Car Repair Advice: Bring your car to a reputable auto repair shop and ask the mechanic to inspect your car front end before having it align, if the mechanic recommends to replace one of your bad suspension parts after inspection seek first a second opinion before doing so.

If after road test you found out that there is nothing wrong with your car front end alignment, then the only thing left is to check your car front brakes.

The first thing to do is to park your car on a level ground and loosen the lug nuts on each front tires using a tire wrench then jack up your car and place a jack stand under it, you must place a jack stand on both side of your car so that both of your front tires is jacked up. Next remove both of your front tires so that your front brakes will be exposed.
