Any product to combat torque steer?

This is my first decently fast FWD car, so I have never experienced torque steer until now. Needless to say, I don't care for it, haha!

Any products out there for this car to combat torque steer?

Thanks!

Don't fear torque steer!!!

I have solid motor mounts and tranny mounts, No torque steer.

Some people install an Ingalls torque dampener.

I keep reading of this torque steer...

Maybe I'm desensitized to it...

I just don't see it.

I like what Dodge did with the Neon to combat torque steer... they just added more power via stage kits, and removed the torque steer by making the tires more prone to spinning...

I only spin, I don't understand this torque steer. lol, seriously though the front and rear trans mounts will probably be better.

When you play call me maybe it turns off all torque steering abilities ..

Driving around with traction control off helps reduce it when you wanna speed up and stuff like that. I never drive with it on unless it's raining

It has to be the road you're on that's causing one wheel to have more traction, because if you have traction control off and the LSD option, you shouldn't really have much torque steer. If I'm on a nice flat, consistant road, she doesn't pull anywhere but forward

This is awful advice for so many reasons. Don't ruin your car with parts not made for it.

No. LSD doesn't mean LOCKED, it means LIMITED slip. There's give there, enough that LSD alone will not prevent torque steer.

Hold onto the wheel. It's hardly anything to worry about. Go drive something from the 80's with probably less than 100hp that will put you on the other side of the road. Then complain about torque steer.

Just because someone makes an aftermarket part for your cars doesn't make it good for your car.

Explain to me how it's "Bad" to have solid mounts.

I would love to hear it.

Oh, and they've been on the car for hmm... 4 years? and nothing bad has happened.

My guess is its the same problem as larger wheels with low profile tires. More vibrations are transmitted to parts that weren't designed to take it and depending on the part it will wear out sooner or just fail completely.
