It is aesthetically an eyesore to look at a car and it’s leaning to one side. Automobile engineers design and build vehicles to be balanced.

When this balance is compromised by one thing or the other, the aesthetics and performance of the car is somewhat compromised.
Your car should be balanced when it is in motion and when parked. There are car parts that are in your car to ensure that this is so.
Whenever your car leans, it’s an indication that there is a problem somewhere.

The chassis, suspension, shock absorber and wheel are what determine how balanced a car can be. The chassis is the mainframe of every car upon which other parts are built.

Here are the reasons why your car leans
1. Inconsistent tyre sizes:
When the four tyres of your car vary in sizes, there is every possibility that your car will lean. This is just like a lady wearing a flat shoe on one leg and heel on the other. She will never have balance in walking. Same goes to your car; inconsistent tyre sizes will make your car lean.
When one of your tyres is more inflated than the other, it’s bound to lean especially if one is deflated.

2. Twisted chassis or bent suspension:
As stated earlier, the nature of your chassis really matters. If the chassis or suspension is bent or twisted, your car will lean to one side.

3. Bad strut, spring and shock absorber:
When one of these gets bad or all of them get stuck, there is every tendency that the car will lean to one side. The will make the car to lose balance when moving and when parked.

There various common reasons for a vehicle to pull to one side.

Low air pressure in a tire causes the height of the tire to change

The low tire makes the vehicle lean to one side


One of the most important safety features of your car is the one you can’t see
Today most vehicles are built on an integrated unibody structure that is built for safety, but is not the most durable. This can be an issue because if a vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe accident, its structure could be severely compromised.


A pull to the left or right, when driving, may have many causes.

Therefore; Be diligent about researching any used vehicle before buying by doing a comprehensive vehicle history report to learn about the vehicle past

If you're shopping for any used or tokunbo car and you want to make sure that the vehicle's structure/frame is in good condition
Always run a vehicle report
