my Skoda Octavia NFL (2020-Present) pulls to the right when driving, what's wrong?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

2. Tire Pressure Adjustment

• Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor
• Check and adjust the tire pressures to the recommended settings found in the owner’s manual.

3. Tire Rotation (if needed)

• Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, lug wrench
• Loosen the lug nuts on the front tires, raise the vehicle using a jack, and securely place jack stands.
• Rotate the front tires to the rear and vice versa if uneven wear is observed.
• Tighten lug nuts to the specified torque value (typically 80-100 Nm).

4. Wheel Alignment

• Tools Required: Wheel alignment machine
• Take the vehicle to an alignment shop or use an alignment tool to check the toe, camber, and caster angles.
• Adjust the alignment settings to the manufacturer's specifications.

5. Suspension Inspection and Repair

• Tools Required: Socket set, wrench set
• Inspect all suspension components such as control arms, bushings, and tie rods for wear or damage.
• Replace any worn or damaged components as necessary, following the steps for disassembly and reassembly specific to the components.
