Driving is a daily activity for the majority of us, our paths are not all the time safe, and whether it’s raining, windy or snowing, we often have no choice but to take our Citroen Jumpy 2. Not having the capability to act on traffic conditions, we try to have at least a safe car! If you are not confident, if you have the feeling that your Citroen Jumpy 2 is pulling to the left, then you are in the right place. We decided to prepare this content page to help you find the source of this problem and fairly quickly feel safe behind the wheel of your car. To get this done, we will initially take a look at the triggers of a Citroen Jumpy 2 that pulls to the left without vibration and finally, a car that pulls to the left with vibration.

Citroen Jumpy 2 pulling to the left because of the alignment
Let’s start with the case of your Citroen Jumpy 2 which pulls to the left without vibration, one of the most classic origins of a non-straight trajectory on a car is the alignment , the reality is, the parallelism is the adjustment of the vertical angle of the wheels, this adjustment is mostly achieved when you change your tires. Although it is difficult or even impossible to know the condition of your alignment, you can examine the sidewalls of your tires, if you find abnormal wear on your Citroen Jumpy 2, it is most likely that the alignment is at fault. In this case, go to your service garage or tyre specialist to correct it.

Speaking of tires, parallelism isn’t the only trigger for a car that pulls to the left. Indeed, if you have a difference in pressure on your tires, it is rational that your Citroen Jumpy 2 is no longer a stable steering. Therefore don’t forget to examine the pressure of all four tyres. Additionally to the risk of an injury if you experience your Citroen Jumpy 2 pulling to the left because of the tyre pressure, you will accelerate the wear of the tyres. And as a consequence, you will have to change them more quickly.

Now let’s look at the case of a Citroen Jumpy 2 that pulls to the left but also triggers vibrations in the steering wheel. The first regular cause of trajectory error plus vibration is that your silent blocks are dead. Indeed, when they are too damaged, they will no longer assume their task of shock absorber and binder between the different auto parts of your front drivetrain, which creates a lack of stability in the steering and the possibility if they are more worn on one side than the other that your Citroen Jumpy 2 pulls to the left. Verify their condition and change them if required. In the event that you really want more information on trouble with the silent blocks, please browse our particular content page.
My Citroen Jumpy 2 pulls to the left because of the bearings
Another possibility that your Citroen Jumpy 2 pulls to the left is that one of your bearings, in most cases the front one, is dead, you should, in addition to the trajectory defect, feel a singular vibration or rolling noise. Indeed, when bearings are damaged, they not anymore rotate as well and slow down the rotation of the wheel on which they are installed, which inevitably creates a trajectory defect. Verify their condition and have them replaced if needed.
My Citroen Jumpy 2 pulls to the left because of the shock absorbers
Last but not least, your Citroen Jumpy 2 that pulls to the left and generates vibrations because of the shock absorbers. Regardless whether it’s the damper cup, your tired springs, or a twisted cylinder, every defect in connection with the shock absorbers can disrupt the normal behaviour of the Citroen Jumpy 2. You should, however, feel a noise when you drive over bumps or on speed bumps, for example. Have the condition of your shock absorbers inspected and ask your auto technician for a replacement if needed.
