1.2 16v owners

[RobFenn]

Would you say you got an unusual amount of torque steer? My car always seems to writhe around under acceleration..and has had a replacement driveshaft already. Im wondering if because they didnt replace both, the unequal wear has caused the other to break too? Bit worried as i have trackday coming up..power to one wheel wouldnt be very useful

Torque steer in a 1.2 16v? Maybe they accidentally put a 2.0 in at the factory

I find that any writhing under steering in my car is caused by unequal front tyre pressure.

worry about it when it breaks

never had any problems with mine, at all

My VTR hardly Torque steered. Has 15 bhp more, more torque and is lighter.

Get it checked by renault. There is a plastic casing on the ball joint that when cracks cause what you are descrbing. Seems especilly noticable when you lift of at high speed. My mate had two of these go on his 52plate extreme. I had two 1.216v dynamiques and never suffered from what you are describing.
