Wheel Alignment Angles: Drift/Pull

Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep the vehicle going straight.

Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel.

• A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
• Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (for example, wind, road crown).
• A drift or pull condition may exist even if the front alignment is within specifications. To aid in correcting this condition, there are 4 additional upper control arms available with off-set bushings (2 for LH, 2 for RH). These upper control arms will allow the caster to be adjusted ± 0.4 degrees. Refer to CASTER ADJUSTMENT - FRONT .
