Are steering alignment problems common in Changan Kalam due to Pakistan’s uneven and pothole-ridden roads?

Many drivers report the vehicle pulling to one side. Are local road conditions damaging steering components more frequently?

Very common.

Driving over speed breakers, potholes, o r unpaved roads frequently knocks alignment out.

This leads to:

Steering pulling to one side

Uneven tire wear

Increased fuel consumption

Lower control arms and tie rods may also suffer, affecting handling.

➡️ Wheel alignment should be done every 6,000–8,000 km under Pakistani road conditions.
