my Volkswagen Golf MK5 (2004-2008) is pulling to one side while driving what could be wrong

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
• Wear safety gear (gloves and safety glasses).

2. Tire Pressure Check

• Use a tire pressure gauge to measure pressure in all tires.
• Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to match manufacturer specifications.

3. Tire Inspection

• Remove front tires using a socket set.
• Inspect tires for uneven wear; replace if necessary.
• Rotate tires if wear is uneven but not excessive.

4. Wheel Alignment

• Use an alignment machine or take the vehicle to a professional for a wheel alignment.
• Adjust toe, camber, and caster angles according to manufacturer specifications.

5. Suspension and Steering Inspection

• Visually inspect all suspension components for damage or excessive wear.
• Replace any worn out parts such as control arms or bushings.
• Tighten any loose steering components as needed.
