I don't disagree. Its so subtle on rear-drive cars that MOST

pointing out that it does, indeed, occur.

We have searched the internet for "torque steer" and we conclude
that it does not exist on RWD cars.

You have GOT to be kidding.
Not at all. Whatever it is you numbskulls think you are feeling in
your RWD cars, it is most certainly _NOT_ torque steer, by
definition, but something else, if in fact, you really feel
anything at all.

And that, little one, is that.
Thanks so much, Uncle rm. But you forgot to tell us the definition of
torque steer.

Can't get much clearer than this "This "torque steer" usually happens

because the drive shafts that connect
the engine to the front wheels aren't the same length."
The torque applied to the unequal length drive shafts causes one of them
to wind up altering the timing of the power applied to each wheel and
affecting the steering. Torque steer.


Torque steer on the rear. I don't think so. You may get one wheel break
traction and the back step out of line but that's oversteer.

Perhaps it was in the part that you clipped away? You know, all
those links? But perhaps there was a different definition in the
links you provided?

Oh, that's right. You didn't provide any links. Since you clipped
away ours, you probably think that evens things out, right little
one?

cordially, as always,
