Torque steer is a pretty common problem for 1:1 vehicles, especially in dragsters with huge power plants installed. Sorry I am not too familiar with your setup, but if you have an overkill of power in it than you will have to suffer some of this, and find ways to compensate for it. Using a GYRO can help greatly, which is what this "D" box looks like it is. Only with a fancy name added for extra hype. The main problem would seem to be in one of your diff's meaning that you may have to play with the lubricants in your diffs in order to offset the torque twisting your rig to one side or the other. If you have 4 wheel drive try disconnecting the front driveshaft and let it freewheel and see what kind of effect it has on this issue. It might even be that the front and rear diffs are not equal and they could be fighting each other. You have an issue that there could be an easy fix for, but first you have to determine exactly whats causing the problem. Process of elimination seems to be your best friend at this point.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
