my Honda Civic 9th Generation (2012-2015) pulls to one side when driving, why is that?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Ensure the vehicle is in gear or in 'Park' mode.

2. Tire Pressure Adjustment

• Use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure.
• Inflate or deflate tires to the recommended pressure as specified in the owner’s manual.

3. Tire Rotation (if uneven wear is found)

• Loosen the lug nuts on the front wheels using a socket wrench.
• Lift the vehicle with a jack and secure it with jack stands.
• Remove the front tires and rotate them to the rear, swapping sides if necessary.
• Reinstall the tires and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications.

4. Wheel Alignment

• Use a wheel alignment machine to adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications.
• If any suspension components are worn or damaged, replace them before performing alignment adjustments.

5. Suspension Inspection and Repair

• Inspect control arms and bushings; replace any worn components.
• Check the tie rods for play; replace if necessary.
• If struts are worn, replace them as they can affect alignment and handling.
