Torque Steer after replacing Driveshaft?!!!
Hi everyone, yes, another issue... *sigh*
yesterday I changed my left CV shaft in my DC2 for a brand new protex one, and everything went well, except now the car is torque steering to the left. not heavily or anything, but in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears when you let go of the steering wheel even for a few seconds under about 50% acceleration the steering wheel just turns left by itself, and under heavy acceleration in 1st and 2nd you can feel the steering wheel pulling against your hand a bit. and it's always left! never turns right by itself.
when I'm in a straight line under no acceleration, or when I'm braking it seems to be pretty much straight, but when it's under acceleration it wants to turn left.
I'm pretty damn certain I did EVERYTHING right when replacing the CV shaft (it was the first time I've attempted it though) and I got a wheel alignment today but still torque steering.
I know it's normal to get a bit of torque steer in FWD's like this, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't like this before I changed the driveshaft.
The job card they gave me after the wheel alignment said that my front camber was 1.1º negative on the left and 0.9º negative on the right, this is most likely because it's on N+ coilovers and the difference in left/right camber is so minor it shouldn't matter right?
Car is equipped with:
BuddyClub N+
Xforce 4-2-1 Headers, High flow cat, 2.25" Cat-back
17" Wheels
But bare in mind this has only seemed to happen after putting in the new CV shaft!
I know it's not really bad torque steer so it's not a massive problem, but it's bugging me.
Please Help?
