- 7Why does my car drive sideways down the road?Vehicles track at an angle because the frame is no longer square, often as a result of a previous severe collision. This structural misalignment prevents the front and rear wheels from tracking in the same path, creating the visual effect of driving sideways.
- 2Why does my steering wheel pull or turn by itself?Power steering malfunctions can cause the steering wheel to automatically jerk or pull hard in one direction while the engine is running, making it nearly impossible to steer the other way. This sudden loss of control prevents safe driving and can also cause the steering wheel to shake visibly when let go before pulling to the side.
- 2Why does my car still pull to the side after a wheel alignment?A car continues to pull to one side even after an alignment because factory adjustments might not be enough to fix component issues like the bolts on the tire. This leaves the vehicle feeling uneven and makes it drift or swerve while driving.
