Anyone else have torque steer while turning right? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My guess would be you're feeling the rear differential at work. When you get on it hard while turning you can definitely start to feel it at work when you're at the edge of traction. It's much more apparent without traction and stability control on though.

This isn't going to affect the front wheels at all but it's easy to mistake it for something else if you're not used to a RWD car with limited slip.

1) check alignment. 2) check tires radial pull. torque steer happens on RWD -> hard accelerating car pull one side and gas off car pull the other side.

I'll admit that I now feel a bit embarassed. I checked the tires and found that the left front was three pounds lower in pressure than the other three tires. Obviously, the pull to the left was from this. I brought it up to the proper pressure and the problem vanished; the great handling that I have come to expect returned.

I forgot the first rule of solving a problem: check the simplest explanation first.

tire pressures, they get you every time.

I still have summer air in mine and they seem fine.
Got one of these though just in case:

Don't feel bad OP I wouldn't have guessed air pressure either

One of the great things about owning a car like this, is the ability to actually "feel" those subtle changes that one wouldn't notice in most other vehicles! Good catch on the tire pressure! Three cheers for Occam's razor!

Im not suggesting your issues are the same as mine but i get the front pulling to the right on acceleration and it doesn't matter if im turning right, left or going straight. Under acc and anything above normal = pulling to the right, off gas change gears it straightens immediately.

Im in Aus so its right hand drive and looking around the internet the common theme i can see is if your rhd it will pull right, lhd it will pull left.

I am yet to try the vsc and traction settings to see if it changes anything, as i feel and as i mentioned the common theme leads me to believe its the elec steering setup.

OP's problem was an underinflated tire that has been fixed. What's your alignment settings? Cuz my car doesnt pull either way and I think I'm in the majority with that

Tor · 04-12-2016, 10:41 PM

My car pulls forward when I push the pedal. Should I have my alignment checked?

Yes if it's the brake pedal.
