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.

NOTE:
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
