Steering - Pull Or Drift

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2021 Lincoln Corsair, 2021 Lincoln Aviator, 2021 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2021 Ford Transit-350, and 2021 Ford Transit-250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A vehicle-related drift or pull, on a flat road, can cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect. Drift or pull can be induced by conditions external to the vehicle, such as wind or road camber.
NOTE: The EPAS system is designed to compensate for some steering issues (drift, pull, wander, etc.). If the steering issue is severe enough the steering wheel may become off center due to system compensation.
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with the hands off the steering wheel.
Pull is described as a tugging sensation on the steering wheel felt by the driver, which must be overcome to keep the vehicle going straight.
