What might be causing the steering wheel to be pulled, in a non voluntary manner, to either side whilst driving?
- A malfunction in the braking system only.
- A malfunction in the vehicle’s engine.
- Low air pressure in one of the back wheels.
- Correct answer: Low air pressure in one of the front wheels.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Low air pressure in one of the front wheels.
A front tyre with low air pressure flattens more and creates more rolling resistance than the tyre on the other side. Because the front wheels do the steering, this imbalance pulls the car and the steering wheel towards the soft tyre. So when the steering pulls to one side, check the tyre pressures first. An engine fault does not cause this kind of pull.
