So, does the 9000 have different length driveshafts? I seem to recall that they had an intermediate driveshaft on the "longer" side to take the effect away. What some people think is torque steer in the 9-3 is actually not, and can be fixed with some suspension bracing. See "Viggen Rescue kit" for a great description of that. Never having driven a 9000, I can't comment on that, but I haven't felt any in my 9-5. I'll pound it in the morning specifically with the goal of trying to notice it, but if it's present, it's damn subtle. Dave Hinz --
