Torque Stear?

Has anyone felt that happening?? My car pulls to the left a bit... I can't tell if I'm loosing my mind.. lolol. SHUT UP CAVY.. lol or is it something else! OR is it supposed to do that!...

And yes, my air pressure in my tires are all good... I DID drop the pressure 1lb. on the right tire so i dont get the torque stear!

torque steer should only occur under acceleration, and it should only be noticable under heavy acceleration.

My car tends to get it if I'm on it real hard in the lower rpms

Like I said, the only time I really felt it good was when I had it floored in lower rpms in 2nd gear, lower rpms being <2000.

I have the g85, but that's not going to help torque steer very much at all anyway. Torque steer is caused by the car having unequal length half-shafts because the transmission is more to one side of the car. More torque is required for one tire to move then the other.
