Car pulls to the right on the highway

2019 Honda Passport AWDSteering & alignment

On the highway the car slowly drifts to the right and I have to hold the wheel slightly left. The tires were rotated two weeks ago and the pull started after that. Tire pressures look the same.

Online advice does not replace an in-person vehicle inspection.

Brakes, steering, tires, suspension and fuel leaks can affect your safety. Treat answers as possibilities, not a diagnosis, and have the vehicle inspected before driving it far.

A pull that started right after a tire rotation often points to the tires themselves rather than alignment. A tire with an internal belt shift, or uneven wear patterns moved from the back to the front, can make the car drift. This is sometimes called radial pull.

A simple test a shop can do is swap the two front tires side to side. If the pull moves to the left, it is a tire issue. If it stays to the right, alignment, a sticking brake caliper, or a worn suspension part becomes more likely.

Also check whether one front wheel is noticeably hotter than the other after a drive (carefully, without touching the brake parts). A dragging brake can cause a pull and is a safety issue. Since steering and brakes are involved, please have it inspected rather than driving with the pull for a long time.
