If your Suzuki Alto pulls to one side while driving, this could be caused by several issues:

Wheel Alignment: One of the most common causes of a car pulling to one side is poor wheel alignment. When the wheels are misaligned, the car doesn’t drive in a straight line, leading to uneven tire wear and reduced handling.
Uneven Tire Pressure: If the tires are inflated unevenly one tire has more o r less pressure than the others, it can cause the car to pull to one side. Under-inflated tires create more resistance and can make the car pull.
Worn Suspension o r Steering Components: If components like the steering rack, tie rods, o r suspension parts are worn, they can cause the car to drift o r pull to one side.
Tire Wear: Uneven tire wear, especially if one side of the tire is more worn than the other, can also cause pulling. This may be due to misalignment o r incorrect tire pressure.
Solution: Check and adjust tire pressure regularly. Have your car’s wheel alignment inspected and adjusted by a mechanic to ensure proper handling. If the problem is related to worn suspension o r steering parts, these components should be repaired o r replaced.
