Possible Causes:

Poor Wheel Alignment: If the wheels are not properly aligned, the car will pull to one side.
Uneven Tire Wear: Tires that are unevenly worn due to poor alignment o r incorrect tire pressure can cause steering pull.
Faulty Steering Rack: A worn o r damaged steering rack can lead to uneven steering, causing the vehicle to pull.

Pakistan’s Road Conditions:

Bumpy Roads and Potholes: Frequent exposure to rough roads and potholes leads to misalignment and uneven tire wear.

Diagnosis and Solutions:

Diagnosis:
Perform a wheel alignment check to see if the alignment is off.
Rotate tires regularly and check for uneven wear.
Fixes:
Wheel Alignment: Perform a wheel alignment check every 10,000 km.
Tire Rotation: Rotate tires regularly to prevent uneven wear.
Steering Rack Inspection: If pulling persists, inspect the steering rack and suspension components for damage.
