    Arrow Causes and solutions for torque steer

    Thought I'd make a thread so everyone can put their input on the list from past experience on this matter.

    Causes
    -Unequal length drive shafts
    -Tracking out
    -C20XE

    Solutions
    -Equal length drive shafts
    -LSD

    dodgey camber and decent suspension having been set up right helps apparently. another solution is matching front tyres for a solution

    Or having RWD would be a good solution

    Mis aligned or poorly installed engine/box on its mounts will add to torque steer.
