LSD Question

[GA_MZDASPEED]

just so you guys know (if i'm right....and not crazy).......the term "torque steer" aplies ONLY to the the tendancy a car has to pull ,left or right upon straight line acceleration....it does not apply to effect one tire with traction will have on the direction you are trying to go.........i.e. if you have a 1 spinning tire (no traction)and 1 with traction (do to LSD) the vehicle will want to rotate on it's longitudinal axis due to the uneven application of force..............does this sound right....?

.......and I'm spent!

sounds right to me, if anything the lsd will pull the car is a straight line. If the road has a crown, then i could see it pulling to the right.

After three dealerships and three alignments, the third dealer finally did an alignment that drastically reduced my torque steer. The service manager at that dealership said my car was aligned according to regular Protege specs, not MSP specs, and after they aligned it according to a bulletin from Mazda, the torque steer almost went away.

He also mentioned something about a bearing, I think, or some part, that is in our cars, which is there to reduce the torque steer. Forget what he called it exactly.

the part that he was talking about might be rubber-like counter-weight that is added to the axle that would cause the torque steer (the weight equallizes the torque).....my honda had one one axle......one axle was almost 1 foot longer (no carrier) then the other and with the weight no noticable torque steer

Actually, the msp hooks pretty well, my buddies is running 10lbs. with an intake and Joe P FPR and it still hooks better than my car.
Imagin what it would be like without it.
