I have noticed that whenever am in a full stop, when i put 1st gear and accelarate. the steering wheel throws to the side, unless i keep it steady. Is this something normal, or a bad sign, or are there things to look for wyhen i go underneath?

it depends (for me) how hard i start off... sometimes yes i do have to control the steering wheel
if you start off like a granny does it still do it? if not i think its 'working as intended' -------------------- 94 Celica ST - CAI, CarPuter, many interior mods!

1- one of your tires needs air
2- that's part of owning a FWD car

It could also be you axles. I noticed it and thought it was the air in the tire, but then my axle went on me.

Worn suspension bushes can make torque steer worse so maybe check them out

2500 rpm, no screeching. Sometimes it does it sometimes not. I am planning on checkin the axles and suspension bushes. I can live with it...

its torque steer... happens to most (if not all) FWD cars. Your putting the clutch in to fast and its gripping hard, and if your wheel is even slightly turn it will pull, and turn that way hard..
nothing is wrong with your car. -------------------- Kawi Love |
