Elasticity of the halfshafts is indeed an issue. That's why some fwd cars with unequal length 'shafts (VW GTI comes to mind) have one thick, long one and one with short, small diameter. This way the overall twist is the same. On 24 May 2000 21:38:13 GMT, gentoo3nopsamcomspam (Gentoo3) wrote: >I believe the explanation for torque steer given in this thread is wrong.
