my Honda Accord feels like it’s pulling to one side while driving what could be the issue

Solution

1. Preparation

• Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface.
• Gather tools: jack, jack stands, tire pressure gauge, alignment machine, torque wrench, and necessary hand tools.

2. Tire Pressure Adjustment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove valve caps from all tires.
  2. Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
  3. Inflate or deflate tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (found on the driver’s side door jamb).
  4. Replace valve caps securely.

3. Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  2. Remove the front wheels for better access (if necessary).
  3. Connect the alignment machine to the vehicle following the manufacturer's setup instructions.
  4. Adjust the toe and camber settings to match manufacturer specifications.
  5. Reinstall the wheels and torque to the specified values (typically 80-100 ft-lbs for most Honda models).

4. Suspension Inspection and Repair

• Sub-steps:
  1. Visually inspect suspension components for signs of damage (cracks, rust, play).
  2. If any components are worn or damaged, remove and replace them using appropriate tools.
  3. Ensure all bolts and nuts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
  4. Recheck alignment after any suspension component replacements.
