Ever feel your car pulling to the left or right when you’re trying to drive straight? It’s more than just annoying—it’s a sign something may be off with your **alignment, suspension, tires, or brakes**. In this post, our certified mechanics at Aims Diesel Auto Services explain the common causes of pulling and how to fix it before it becomes a bigger (and costlier) issue.

1. Wheel Misalignment

This is the most common culprit. If your wheels aren’t perfectly aligned, your vehicle will naturally drift to one side. Edmonton roads (especially with potholes or snowpack) often throw off alignment.

2. Uneven Tire Pressure

One low tire—especially in the front—can cause your car to pull. A simple air pressure check might solve the issue.

3. Worn or Uneven Tires

If your tires wear unevenly, your car can start drifting in one direction. Rotating your tires regularly helps prevent this problem.
