Car Pulls to One Side When Braking: A Sign of Uneven Brake Wear

If your car pulls left or right when braking, this is a sign that your braking system is not applying equal force to all wheels. This problem is commonly caused by uneven brake pad wear, a sticking brake caliper, or brake fluid issues.

Pulling while braking makes your vehicle harder to control and can worsen quickly if ignored.

What Causes a Car to Pull When Braking?

This issue is often caused by:

  • Unevenly worn brake pads
  • A stuck or seized brake caliper
  • Contaminated or low brake fluid
  • Differences in brake pressure between wheels

Any imbalance in braking force affects stability and safety.

Why Pulling While Braking Matters

When your car pulls to one side, it can cause:

  • Unpredictable braking behavior
  • Increased tire and suspension wear
  • Loss of control, especially during sudden stops

Uneven braking also increases strain on steering and suspension components.
