If your Suzuki Alto pulls to one side while driving, it could be due to several factors:

Wheel Alignment Issues: Misalignment of the wheels is a common cause. If the wheels aren’t aligned properly, the car will pull to one side as the tires aren’t pointing in the correct direction.
Uneven Tire Pressure: If the tire pressure on one side of the vehicle is lower than the other, it can cause the car to pull to the side with the under-inflated tire.
Worn Suspension Components: Worn o r damaged suspension components, such as shocks o r struts, can cause poor handling and pulling to one side.
Brake Issues: A sticking brake caliper can cause the car to pull to one side as it applies uneven braking force on the wheels.
Solution: Check the tire pressure on all four tires to ensure they are equal. Have the wheel alignment checked and adjusted if needed. Inspect suspension components and brake calipers, and replace any worn parts to restore proper handling and prevent pulling.
