Just as the title says, I have excessive torque steer. I've had the car aligned multiple times in the past two years with no success. The car is under spec for alignment, but still wants to pull to right; I have even installed camber bolts to compensate for the pull. The reason I believe it to be torque steer is because when the car is cruising in neutral, or no gas is applied, it will drive perfectly straight. Only when the gas pedal is pushed down will I get the pull. I have checked the control arms and tirerods and they appear to be just fine. Any suggestions? This member also had a similar problem...

QUOTE (lagos @ Apr 22, 2009 - 3:05 PM)  Your control arms are loose. Checked them again last night and everything is lock-solid tight. Could a bad motor mount affect alignment? Any other ideas? |
