Correct answer

  • CUna presión distinta en los neumáticos de un mismo eje.Different pressures in the tyres on the same axle.
Explanation

If the vehicle pulls to one side in a straight line, a common cause is different pressures in the tyres on the same axle: the wheel with lower pressure offers more resistance. It may also be due to a brake fault or wheel misalignment, but not to the brake fluid level.
