Car pulling to one side when braking
If you're noticing the car pulling left or right under braking, your car is telling you something. Here's what usually causes it, what you can safely check, and when to call a mechanic.
Likely causes
- Sticking caliper
- Contaminated pads on one side
- Uneven tyre pressures
- Worn suspension bushings
“Book soon: uneven braking is a safety risk in the wet.”
What you can check
- Check tyre pressures
- Feel each wheel after a drive (careful: a much hotter one points to a sticking caliper)
