AV-SCANNER / Service function guides / Steering and suspension
This guide gives motorists and working mechanics a complete, structured method for diagnosing a vehicle that pulls to one side, separating tyre, alignment and brake causes before any parts are replaced. It explains how steering, suspension and braking geometry interact, then walks through a measured road test, tyre and wheel inspection, alignment checks and brake drag testing in a fixed order that prevents wasted effort. Readers finish with a verified diagnosis, a documented result check and a clear aftercare plan, so the repair is confirmed rather than guessed.
Guidance is general and covers many makes. Exact procedures and values vary by model, so confirm them in the factory service information for your vehicle.
