Alignment issues

If the car isn't properly aligned will it still show signs of torque steer when accelerating?

For that matter should our car ever show signs of torque steer?

I know that before I got my alignment fixed (for the 3rd time since I bought the car) it always pulled to one side during acceleration. It definately sucked.

As for whether or not it ever SHOULD pull, I don't know. All I know is that after this alignment it is accellerating far more cleanly, and it isn't pulling at all (and I beat the Hell outta my car on acceleration, aka. letting the RPM's ride up while I leave the clutch in :o )

My car really never had a problem with torque steer, maybe when the pavement was wet though. I put on a strut tower bar and it seemed to straighten out the ride.

well you shouldnt show signs of torque steer unless your car is misaligned because you have a Limited Slip Differential.

Exclamation

Iv'e paid $59.99 at SEARS. Hey check your control arms lower ball joint I have a 95 G20 and I noticed that I was wearing out my front tires on the inside tread (uneven wear) and my alighnments didn't last long. If you have 100,000/miles on your car, I'd check the ball joints their probably worn out.



:flash:

I have a little over 100k so I guess that could be my problem.
