My car tends to pull to one side while on the go. What could be wrong?

Check the tyres to see if they are all properly (and equally) inflated and if they are worn unevenly.

If tyre condition is not the problem, check to see if the wheels are out of alignment.

A less common cause is brake dragging, which happens when one set of brakes is stuck in engaged.

Lastly, your car could have loose steering components.
