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.

Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors:
• |
Road slope

Variability in tire construction

Wheel alignment (front cross caster and camber)
