Torque Steer

[Andy_D]

Hey all, I’ve got a 2012 FWD CX-9 with extensive front-end work (rack, tie rods, control arms, mounts, etc). Still getting excessive torque steer under acceleration.

While lowering the subframe, I noticed the rear bushings had a loose fit around the body studs. Wondering if this is by design or if worn bushings could be contributing to flex and steering instability.

Has anyone replaced or upgraded these bushings on a FWD CX-9? Any success with SuperPro SPF5108K or Febest alternatives?

Appreciate any insight anyone may have— trying to eliminate this last gremlin.

I should have mentioned that I get torque steer to the right on acceleration and a pull to he left on deceleration. Most of the front end suspension/steering is new so I'm thinking it's a bushing(s) that are flexing and causing some movement. Whatever is moving on acceleration is then returning to its original position when braking. Aside from this annoyance everything else seems tight and stable.
