The steering system is incorporated into the suspension system. If a part of the steering suspension system is worn, the wheel may bear more of the weight load or pull to one side.

Symptoms

Tires Wear Out Fast

One result of a shift is vehicle weight distribution is rapid or abnormal tire wear. If one front tire is wearing out faster than the other, it may be bearing more weight.

Vehicle Pulls to One Side

If a steering suspension component is worn, the alignment may be off in such a way as to tilt the vehicle. This will cause it to pull to one side while driving in a straight line.
