Lead/Pull Description

Lead/Pull Description

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.
