Reasons of the vehicle’s pulls from a rectilinear motion.
Why is the car pulled to one side?
Often, motorists face with this problem – pulls vehicle to one side. One or several reasons can be a consequence of this vehicle’s core on the road. Moreover the action of some counteracts the other. And the removal of one gives the opportunity to appear to others. And some action is the consequence of the others. These reasons are more than two hundred. Consider some often occurred reasons and ways of their removal. The use of different size, according to the manufacturer or generally unsuitable vehicle units and components was not considered.
Tires, discs.
1. There is a different pressure in the right and left wheels.
The difference of more than 0.2 bar. Flat tire has a large elasticity and large surface area of contact with road surface and thus a greater friction coefficient. It is necessary to adjust the tire pressure.
2. There is a different pattern of the right and left wheels.
Different pattern and therefore different tires. The same size tires, but different outline patterns can vary the weight, elasticity and friction with the road surface. It is necessary to replace tires or move wheels.
3. There is a different treed‘s height on the right and left wheels.
Different uniform tread wear, and so different tires. The same size tires but different wear tread may vary the weight, elasticity and friction with the road surface. It is necessary to replace or move the wheels.
4. There is an uneven tire wear wheels.
Uneven tire wear is a consequence of:
- not correct angles installation wheels alignment and level suspension;
- not correct wheel balancing;
- not an apt tires outline;
- not correct installation of wheels on the directing;
- disrepair or unit backlash suspension and steering wheel trapezoid.
It is necessary to replace the tires or move the wheels. Correct or replace suspension units and steering trapezoid. Correctly install the wheel on the directing.
5. Tires are sharpened under other angles.
The long operation of car tires with the wrong angles installation wheels and the suspension level led to a one-sided uniform tire wear. It is necessary to change or move the wheels.
6. Tires are sharpened under other rotation.
It is necessary to move the wheels.
7. There is a carcass deformation of the tires cover wheels.
There is no carcass deformation tire with running on the road pothole at low pressure in the tires or hard running on road pothole as a result of beats, but there is the pulls. It is necessary to change the tires or move the wheels.
8. There is a gap metal cord in the tire.
There is a gap metal cord tires with running on the road pothole at low pressure in the tires or hard running on road pothole. As a result, there is a thin wear strip on circle opposite the disc side with the inner or outer tire side. It is necessary to replace the tires.
9. There is a run out of the wheel tires.
Run out of the wheel tires are with running on the road pothole at low pressure in the tires or hard running on road pothole. As a result, there is a radial or diagonal tires run out, which is called as "bump", "finger". It is necessary to change the tires, balance the wheels or change the wheels.
10. There is a wrong wheel balancing.
It is necessary to balance the wheels.
11. There is a disk run out (radial or diagonal).
It is necessary to roll the disks and to balance the wheels.
12. There is a wrong wheel assembly.
The tire sits wrong in the disk. It is necessary to re-assemble and balance the wheels.
13. There is a wrong wheel fastening.
Properly set the wheels on the directing.
14. There is a different wheels weight.
The wheels, disks, tire covers and balancing small loads weight total or separately on the right and left wheel is different. It is necessary to move the wheels.
15. There is an asymmetrics tires.
It is observed the cases of using tires with an asymmetric tread outline, when riding on wet surface and even on dry accompanied with pulling the vehicle to one side. It was caused by the unidirectional drainage canals and lamella tires.
16. There is a difference of wheels.
The difference between the wheels is not revealed but is there a pull? This item excludes all previous paragraphs of section It happens even on new wheels, tires and disks. It is necessary to move the wheels.
There are wheels angles.
17. Convergence does not affect on the pulls!
Convergence does not affect on the pulls! Exclusion is a paragraph 19.

How can you beat the car pulls from the rectilinear motion?
Move the front wheels seats on the tire (even if it is directed). If it is changed you have to check the disc, tire on the beat and balancing. If it is not changed you have to find a camber toe specialist who will call at least 10 reasons of the car pulling.
Wheels-alignment, difference angles "castor" "camber" right and left wheels have to be no more than 0°20'
