Torque steer

now that my 02 max is mostly broken in, i'm noticing the torque steer a lot more--is there a fix for this or is it just something 02 max owners have to live with--i only notice it when accelerating fast (often)--if the steering is suposed to be very much like the AE, have any of you AE owners experienced this

I get it on my 2k max also when you go past 4k rpm in 1st gear.... it's a side effect of a FWD car.... you can't do much about it.

My friends Camry Solara with 200 hp has a large amount of torque steer. It is not just the 2K2 owners that have to deal with this. Most front drive cars with moderate power have to deal with this including the 2K-2K1 Maximas.
