Tourq(sp?) Steering

posted by  someone claiming to be Napoleon on  Sun Jan 27 23:54 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I'm far from an automotive engineer, but I'll try. Torque steer, as I understand it, is a front wheel drive phenomenon. It happens because many front wheel drives are set up with unequal length drive axles. When power is applied, the difference in axle lenght causes the car to pull to one side. Shouldn't be something that you encounter in a RWD, but there is a V70 T5 owner who mentions it now and again.

Others may know better, if so, educate us both.
