A vehicle will pull or lead in one direction during hard
acceleration and will pull or lead in the other direction during acceleration.
The following factors may cause torque steer to be more apparent on
a particular vehicle.
| • | A slightly smaller diameter on the right front will increase a
right torque lead. |
| • | Inspect the front tires for differences in brand, construction
or size. If the tires appear similar, change the front tires side to side
and road test the vehicle. |
| • | Tire and wheel assemblies have the most significant effect on
torque steer correction. |
| • | A large difference in the right and the left front tire pressure.
Additionally, this may cause a lead/pull condition. |
| • | The front view axle angle left to right differences can cause
significant steering pull in a vehicle. The pull will be to the side with
the most downward sloping axle from the differential to the wheels. |
| • | Axles typically slope downward from the differential. |
| • | The slope of the transaxle
pan to the level ground may be used as an indication of bias axle angles. |
