hey guys, pulled away from a standing start against some idiot who fitted a BIG LOUD exhaust to his clio and thought it made it go faster :lipsrsealed:
however i noticed my steering was sticking to the left through the acceleration and then popped back to centre as if nothing happened :undecided:
wondering what this could be?
any ideas?
-
Torque steer? Camber of the road?

Torque steer? Camber of the road?
freshly laid tarmac hence the nice pull away lol and wouldnt it be torque on both side?
-
No with torque steer it pulls to one side. Normally with my car it pulls to the left.
-
oh good lol and it falls back to its usual when levelling out? i know mine pulls worst when accelerating through a nice gambon we have at the bottom of our road onto the A12...and that is to left as well so i've just answered my own question :rolleyes:
-
Most likely worn lower arm bushes,
Mine used to do the same as my left wishbone bushes had bag loads of play,
The wheel was moving back and fourth under acceleration

Not unless you has an LSD,

best thing to do is pull away nice and slow as normal and make the other guy look like a right t&*t with his 400bhp exhaust :smiley:
on topic mine pulls to the left to :wink:
-
yeah mine pulls to left too under power in lower gears you seen top gear before when they have focus rs on? and astra vxr and stuff. put more than 200 bhp through front wheels and you start geting tourque steer

In all honesty I would have smoked him too to make him look like a muppet, I like to match their speed into second and then floor it while looking over and smiling :grin:
