that ain't torque steer...

[SuperHO]

okay...replaced passenger front wheel bearing today. weird thing is, if i give it anything beyond half throttle, the car makes a valiant attempt to turn right. now...it did this before i tore it apart, as this symptom is what caused the investigation that revealed bad bearing. it almost feels like the front motor mount's broke, but it's heavily reinforced, and there's no movement in the shifter. thoughts?

Here's a couple things that pops out of my mind , bad ball joint , bad subframe bushings , bad strut rod bushings.

Maybe poor grip tire may also have an effect that worsens the deal , IE: cold temps.

When I installed my 245's 200 threadwear , all the torquesteer was gone. Tires have a underestimated impact on that steer shit.

both ball joints are just fine...those were the first thing i checked. strut rod bushings are good...been replaced with poly. subframe bushings are aluminum. tires are a medium treadwear, but as pronounced as this is, they don't seem to be a likely culprit...however, i will rotate em around back and see if that helps.

See if you can have somebody look as you take off, if the tire moves, it's the strut rod! just a thought

broken sway bar endlink ? a bad CV axle will also do this; even newly rebuilt ones have been known to torque steer.

after an exhaustive undercar exam, the only possible culprit's a sloppy driver's side outer tie rod. gotta love the easy ones.

check to make sure there is no vertical movement of the ball joint within the knuckle.

Also, make sure that one side of the back of the subframe didnt drop. I had the same symptoms with my 92 when that happened.
