My car torque steers to the left hard in second, and to the right in third. Had a few close calls while passing on country roads when I get pulled back into the lane I just left. Any ideas? Thanks.

 

Turn the round thing in front of you to compensate for the pull.....?

J/K you will get use to it, just take it easy until you get use to it.

 

I haven't really known the SS/SC to have that much of a problem with torque steer... even when I'm getting on it.

Dunno...

 

Get bigger forearms

 

jmac88 ur car must b one fast car had her at the drags yet? #'s? lol just wondering

 

awd, rwd

 

did you resently upgrade your rims?

wheel offset plays a big factor in the wheels ability to grab control, not just a brake clearance issue... If you have too much contact outside the normal spec you'll have more bump steer and torque steer.. however more contact on the inside of the wheel wheel give you less toque/bump steer...

 

LSD definately helps. Even still I had to get used to compensating for the torque steer while accelerating. Another thing that helps is to get a torque brace, when I put my Ingalls on it helped a bit with the torque steer.

 

Get the ever important DRIVER MOD

Anyways you can get the LSD from your GM Parts Source, whichever one that may be. I thought I saw an LSD setup from a vendor a time back but I doubt that.

 

GM Parts source that has JUST the LSD? Not sure.. but I don't think so.

Turbo tech has one, as well as Dezod, but they cost at least 1300 and install is a bitch.

 

I went to the track once, the line was so big and i was to impatiant to wait. I am hoping to go again this friday or next friday before the track closes for the season.

 

Just changed to a 18x8, with +45 offset. It was just as bad on stockers. Only have the issue when hitting about 12 psi boost, and the thing takes off on me.

 

Are you confusing torque steer with just a light front end from accelrating? Torque steer is not going to change directions on you, it will pull in one direction only.

These cars have virtually no tourque steer because they use equal-length drive axles. It sounds to me your just feeling a light front end from having so little weight up there coupled with very little traction left.

 

 

ive honestly never even experienced torque steer in my cobalt...but maybe thats cause my arm is strong enough to hold the steering wheel in one spot tho
