When I am at WOT, my steering jerks pretty bad. I was wondering if any of you know what causes this, or know how to fix it. Thanks.

I thought "torque steer" was when your on the highway at high speeds, and you get that floaty steering and the wheels seem to move slightly left/right by themselves ! THAT makes me feel unsafe.

This should explain better what i'm talking about:
Floaty steering at highway speeds: ideas?
At speeds of 60mph or higher (highway travel), it feels like my steering is very 'light.' The car doesn't seem 100% stable to me, like I'm driving through a slight crosswind. Occasionally, I feel almost-imperceptible feedback through the steering wheel, like a wheel is moving slightly on its own. Like my wheels are slightly loose, and 1 or a couple will move slightly causing my maxima to very lightly jerk to one side. It's a lil' freaky. Can any of you help me out ??

Torque steer occurs in FWD cars with tons of torque.
It occurs when you accelerate hard. The reason it occurs is because torque force is being applied to the front axle, however the front wheels can also turn left and right (to steer) therefore the two forces kinda *fight* and the massive torque causes the steering to move. That's why you have to fight with the wheel. Advanced suspension geometry like unequal length shafts <I think DBM or Jeff92Se can elaborate on that> can suppress torque steer, but not totally eliminate it.
I wonder how people who drive Saabs or Volvos cope with it??

Yeah no kidding .. I wonder how bad the torque steer on a viggen is They probably deal with it the same way we do, but more. Complaining

Yep I did have this,
I just always blamed the drift after a low RPM throttle abusing on myself. I thought the sudden drift was normal to front wheel drive. Which it is, kinda, but I always like it when it happens because it is normal to me, and I almost anticipate it, but the passengers get shook.
