ok i have noticed when on the freeway my car drift to the left of the lane when i accelerate, and to the right when i press the brake peddle. is it alignment or does it need a engine dampener?

 

Um, I think by definition torque steer is only possible in FWD cars...

From wikipedia:
Sounds like alignment. Also, check tire pressure to make sure both sides are even.

 

If this is something that just started happening all at once, almost guarantee one of your tires is very low on pressure, Id guess drivers side rear.

 

will do, thx

 

I noticed that with mine too

then i got new tires and alignment and problem resolved

 

I'm just curious, how come torque steer doesn't apply to MR cars?

My understanding is that the cause of having torque steer is the unequal lengths of the shafts ... in that case, don't mid-engine cars have the same problem?

 

It's due to the amount of twist the axels allow under a hard pull. If the axels are equal they flex the same. Unequal axels allow one wheel to spin slightly more than the other, but it's only for a brief momment at launch. We have equal length axels.

 

drive a turbo civic and you will see what torque steer is... and no, unless you convert your s over to front will drive, the most you will have is what we call "traction issues"

 

exactly what I thought as well

 

Torque steer is caused by the power being pushed to the steer wheels (FWD). Other factors can make it worse or help tho.
