^ Many issues can contribute to vehicle drift or pull, such as tire pressure, tire uniformity, wheel alignment, brake drag, road crown, cross winds, spring sag resulting in ride height differences, cargo load/weight distribution, and more.
^ It is important to consider all potential effects when diagnosing and confirming a vehicle drift or pull condition.
