For 1990-2009 cars

At a constant highway speed on a typical straight road, lead/pull is the amount of effort required at the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle's straight path.

Important: Vehicles will tend to lead/pull in the direction of the road slope as part of normal operation.

Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors:

• | Road slope

• | Variability in tire construction

• | Wheel alignment (front cross caster and camber)

• | Unbalanced steering gear

• | Electronic Power Steering (EPS) steering position and torque sensors not calibrated correctly, if equipped.
