Is there a way to get rid of bad torque steer. When ever i accelerate and i hit a bump my steering wheel jerks hardcore. Are there Lsd for the vg30e automatics?
Or am i going to have to live with the crappy torque steer?

 

get used to it. you put a torquey engine in a FWD configuration, you're bound to have torque steer.

 

At least it's not as bad as the torque steer on the 5th gens....

 

Anyone know where you can get a limited slip diferential for the vg30e automatic?

 

Funny, I've never really felt this, or maybe I'm just so used to it that it seems normal? But I've driven both front and rear wheel drive cars, and I've never noticed a jerking of the wheel over bumps, and we got some major bumps around here.

 

His problem is NOT torque steer based on his explanation, it sounds more like a steering problem.
Torque steer is only under initial acceleration when the car pulls hard to one side.
Bumps don't affect torque steer
Bumps do however cause BUMP steer which is a suspension problem.

Just my .02

 

sounds like you've got something wrong with the suspension or steering system. tie rod ends, ball joints, something else is bad.

I've got 40+ more HP than you on the same type configuration (although I DO have LSD), yet still minimal problems with torque steer.

 

im not saying the wheel jerks my hands off its just an anoying jerk smetimes under hard acceleration ill hit like uneven cement surfaces and the steering whell will jerk a little but nothin to bad i was just wondering if there was something i could do

 

sure... check your suspension.
it shouldn't do that. only way it would be torque steer is if one tire loses traction for a second or something while you're doing that.

otherwise, torque steer is the wheel yanks one way when you floor it, and goes back the other way when you let off the gas.

it's due (partly) to the uneeven length on our front axles.

 

okedoke ill have someone take a look at it im poor so im not going to worry about it to much but thanks

 

first and easiest way to check your steering...

turn the ignition switch so that it unlocks the steering wheel.. (turn everything else off so you don't have noises from radio, fans, etc)..

turn the wheel back and forth quickly- just until you feel pressure on it, then go the other way. you shouldn't hear any noise, and it should feel smooth- other than the resistance of the tires on the ground.
if you hear any thunking noise, or there's much play in the steering, then you've got something wrong-- like a tie rod end or ball joint.

 

ok im back and it went back and forth without any noise and was smooth

 

oh yep.. 3.5s have it big time

 

Have you ever replaced your control arm bushings? If not, it sounds like now would be a good time. I recommend sending Matt93SE a PM. He has a replacement service that is worth checking out.

 

New one's are also available

 

Control arm bushings..look into the Phantom Grip LSD device. Not exactly clutch or viscous, but it works on all accounts that I have read. THey can fit it at the factory, you send your diff.

 

dude you should seriously just make this your new day job and quit the other one

 

Working on that
