Thread: Car pulls to the left

Lift the front of the car and try to wiggle each wheel. Play up and down= wheel bearing. Side to side = bearing or steering component.

Well, a car doesnt just pull to the left for no good reason.


Did you happen to hit anything lately?

Possibly rotate the tires recently?

Under-inflated tire or tires?

Tires in good condition (good tread, normal wear, not seperated) etc etc.

Possible brake caliper sticking on that one side?

A wheel bearing isnt going to cause the car to pull one way or another.

There are so many possibilites to this problem.

Wheel bearing can cause the car to pull. I speak from personal experience.

The tires have about 70% tread left, just changed the brakes this spring, so I don't think that is the issue either. I have to put my winter tires back on soon anyways, so I'll play around with both sides to see what I can find.

I agree, My jeep started to pull hard..I thought It was a brake hanging up....about 30 seconds later the bearing broke and It really pulled then. Lol

My car did the same a while back, but to the right. It was the passenger aide bearing. I've been threw 4 wheel bearings between both sides since owning the car. Bad luck I guess.
