how to troubleshoot car pulling to the left on Tesla Model 3 Highland (2024-present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, jack and jack stands, wheel alignment tool, torque wrench.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and turn off the ignition.

2. Adjust Tire Pressure

• Sub-steps:
  1. Using a tire pressure gauge, check the pressure of each tire.
  2. Inflate or deflate tires to match the recommended pressure found in the owner’s manual or on the door jamb.
  3. Recheck pressures after adjustments.

3. Rotate Tires (if needed)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Loosen the lug nuts on all four wheels slightly while the vehicle is on the ground.
  2. Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  3. Remove the front tires and switch them with the rear tires (or vice versa) to ensure even wear distribution.
  4. Reinstall the tires and tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.

4. Perform Wheel Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Using a wheel alignment tool, adjust the camber, caster, and toe to factory settings.
  2. Make sure to measure the alignment angles before and after adjustments.
  3. Tighten any bolts to the specified torque and ensure all components are secure.

5. Inspect and Replace Worn Components (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. If any suspension components are found to be worn or damaged during inspection, replace them with OEM parts.
  2. Follow manufacturer's instructions for part replacement and torque specifications.
  3. Recheck alignment after any component replacements.
