why does my BMW X3 G01 (2018-2024) feel like it’s pulling to one side

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: jack and jack stands, tire pressure gauge, alignment tool, torque wrench, socket set.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and secure it with wheel chocks.
• Disconnect the battery if working on electronic components.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

• Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in all four tires.
• Inflate or deflate tires to match the manufacturer’s recommended pressure, typically found on the driver’s side door jamb.

3. Inspect and Replace Tires (if necessary)

• Examine the tire tread for uneven wear; if found, consider rotating or replacing the affected tires.
• If the tires are significantly worn or damaged, replace them with new tires of the same specifications.

4. Perform Wheel Alignment

• Align the vehicle using an alignment machine. Adjust camber, caster, and toe angles to meet factory specifications.
• Torque all suspension components to manufacturer-recommended values after adjustments.

5. Inspect and Repair Suspension Components

• Check control arms, ball joints, and bushings for wear or damage.
• Replace any worn or damaged components to restore proper alignment and handling.
