Solution
1. Tire Pressure Adjustment
  • Sub-steps:
    • Use a tire pressure gauge to measure pressure in all tires.
    • Inflate or deflate each tire to the recommended pressure specified in the owner’s manual.
2. Tire Inspection and Rotation
  • Sub-steps:
    • Remove front tires using a lug wrench.
    • Inspect tires for uneven wear, bulges, or foreign objects.
    • Rotate tires if uneven wear is noted or replace if damaged.
    • Reinstall tires and torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications (usually around 80-100 lb-ft).
3. Wheel Alignment
  • Sub-steps:
    • Drive the vehicle to an alignment shop or use alignment tools if available.
    • Adjust alignment angles (camber, caster, toe) according to manufacturer specifications.
    • Test drive the vehicle after alignment to ensure the pulling issue is resolved.
4. Suspension Component Inspection
  • Sub-steps:
    • Visually inspect control arms, ball joints, struts, and bushings for wear or damage.
    • Replace any worn or damaged components with OEM or quality aftermarket parts.
    • Ensure all fasteners are tightened to manufacturer specifications.
5. Steering System Check
  • Sub-steps:
    • Inspect tie rods for play or damage by checking for movement when the steering wheel is turned.
    • If any components are faulty, replace them and ensure proper installation.
    • Test the steering system for any binding or looseness.
