Re: [help] torque steer

[Cory Langford <cory.langford@icbc.com>]

Hmm, just a thought...

Would a worn bearing creat more drag on one side and cause all the power
to be loaded on the opposite axel thus creating the problem?

Hmmm,  well, a severly lowered car can change the angles of the CV's,
which
will cause torque steer.  I suppose a raised car will do the same. 
Ideally
the shafts should be straight, with minimal angle across the joint.

Hugely over-powered engines on tiny little wheels can torque steer
violently
in a FWD car, see the Saab Viggen as a good example.

But you don't qualify for any of that.  Hmmmm.

Car is not lowered.  1.8L 8v, JH 90 hp.  Wheels are stock VW 'snow
flake',
14x6.  I believe tires are 185 - 65 - 14?, or 185-60-14.  Something like
that, nothing extreme.  Car tracks straight when hands are off the
wheel,
but it pulls as soon as you hit the gas.

Thanks,

Victor
