Re: torque steer?

the alignment was fairly clean looking as far as i can remember, but i'll try and dig up the sheet. i'm sure i kept it. they certainly didn't say they had any problems getting everything straight.

I think what happens is that you have bushings that are plastic or rubber and they get worn away, and then there is slip in the steering or suspension components. When torque hits them they slip and jerk the wheel around or move the tires around.

i would agree accept the bushings and tie rod ends in my caddy are new ....some cars have an absurd amount of torqe steer. usually only if the wheels are slightly off center ie comming out of a corner or changing lanes .
