How would that help with torque steer?? On any car I buy, I get a full alignment check done.

Worn/poor tyres, tyre pressures.
torque steer of the line lol ! I then thought, whoops must go easier.
I find the quality of the Road vs. the geometry of the suspension/drivetrain affects the quantity of torque steer experienced.
I (am lucky enough to) drive country roads every day to work, and find the variation of road 'quality' makes a hell of a difference in how much my Cup will jerk about. On some parts of my drive in, the road is of good quality and more importantly is flat across the whole of the carridgeway. At this point unless I'm driving like a thing possesed, the torque steer is almost negligible up to 3/4 throttle, then above - the tug on the steering can be felt. On the other hand, other parts of my journey involve minor B roads which although have just been surfaced, roll and undulate like a small mountain range. Here anything above 1/2 throttle involves a tight grip on the wheel as each bump changes the geometry of the suspension, and hence the quantity of torque steer which can be slightly annoying, but also entertaining as well!
This proportion of torque steer will also be affected, as already said, by worn bushes, ball joints, and unsymetrical situations with tyre pressures and tread wear.
I suggest having it looked at/tracked, and then grin and bear it, unless you fancy shelling out for a CLIO 172/182 QUAIFE ATB DIFFERENTIAL or similar.......yes look at the price!!!

my 182 tries to go away from you in 1st but as soon as it hits 2nd its not anywhere near as bad, but i was used to keeping a boat of an astra turbo with 252 bhp in a straight line, that was fun!
+ dodgy road cambers.

Some driving ability? :rasp: They dont torque steer that badly at all lol, if its wet or the road is naff, try taking off the lead boots

I can handle it fine. I find it fun if anything. If the car torque steers it has nothing to do with someones driving ability
care? :S
