Lead/Pull Description

2006 Isuzu Ascender S, 5.3 M, 4WDSECTION Lead/Pull Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Isuzu Ascender, 2007 GMC Envoy, 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, and 2007 Buick Rainier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.

IMPORTANT: Vehicles will tend to lead/pull in the direction of the road slope as part of normal operation.

Lead/pull is usually caused by the following factors:

  • Road slope
  • Variability in tire construction
  • Wheel alignment (front cross caster and camber)
  • Unbalanced steering gear
  • Electronic Power Steering (EPS) steering position and torque sensors not calibrated correctly, if equipped.
