when i accelerate it feels like one wheel is spining more than the other, and then my car goes either left or right and i have to correct the wheel there after. is there any kind of bar or something to will make both front wheels spin at the same time so this doesnt happen anymore or is it one downfall of fwd?

You know, when I think about it, that happens to me sometimes

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think this is where the Limited Slip Differential might come in handy.

When you accelerate and your car pulls to either side, you have torque steer. I'm not sure of any aftermarket parts that would help it.

It's necessary to allow the wheels to do this (FWD or RWD)because when you turn a car the wheels travel at different speeds, that is the inside wheels in a turn rotates slower than the outside wheels. That's what our differential allows the car to do (not to be confused with a limited slip differential). Only difference is that FWD cars have wheels that turn (steer) and you get torque steer (what you are feeling).

In order to alleviate some of this you can get a limited slip differential. I believe someone was selling the Quaif LSD - cattman maybe but not sure.

sounds like torque steer.... i get some nasty torque steer in first gear as the tach swings past 4k rpm. It's because of FWD... thats why LSD comes in handy

The Cattman/Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing Differential, which is manufactured in England, will cure that problem for you. It's all gear-driven, too, so there's no viscous coupling to wear out. Cattman says it's the best diff one can get for a Maxima. It can be all yours for about $1,500. I expect mine to be delivered in 10 days, along with a set of polyurethane engine mounts and a JWT Stage II Clutch. I can hardly wait.

If you think the Maxima's bad, drive the Saab 9-3, and tell me it doesn't have mad torque steer from 1st to 2nd gear.

BTW that car's still tight.

Step on the accelerator and both your front wheels will spin at the same time.

why is this so hard to believe

Because your car is PS'ed and you haven't experienced this yet.
