Problem overview

Some Nissan Sentra owners report experiencing steering issues that cause the vehicle to pull to the right while driving. These problems are often attributed to bad wheel alignment, which can lead to veering off course even with a slight misalignment. Additionally, an imbalance in tire pressure, particularly if the right tires are lower than the left, can contribute to this pulling sensation. Uneven tire wear is another factor that may cause the vehicle to drift to the right, highlighting the importance of regular tire maintenance. Some owners also report issues related to defective wheel bearings, which can exacerbate steering problems, and worn suspension components, such as brake calipers and pads, that may influence the vehicle's handling. Lastly, discrepancies in tire size or significant differences in wear can lead to pulling during acceleration or deceleration. It is crucial for owners to address these potential causes through timely maintenance and inspections to ensure safe driving conditions.
