Chevrolet Sonic Repair Manual: Torque Steer Description
A vehicle pulls or leads in one direction during hard acceleration. A vehicle
pulls or leads in the other direction during deceleration.
The following factors may cause torque steer to be more apparent on a particular
vehicle:
- A slightly smaller diameter tire on the right front increases a right torque
lead. Inspect the front tires for differences in the brand, the construction,
or the size. If the tires appear to be similar, change the front tires from
side-to-side and retest the vehicle. Tire and wheel assemblies have the most
significant effect on torque steer correction.
- A large difference in the right and left front tire pressure
- Left-to-right differences in the front view axle angle may cause significant
steering pull in a vehicle. The pull will be to the side with the most downward
sloping axle from the differential to the wheels. Axles typically slope downward
from the differential. The slope of the transaxle pan to level ground may be
used as an indication of bias axle angles. The side with the higher transaxle
pan (shown on the left side of the illustration) has the most downward sloping
axle angle.
Toe is a measurement of how much the front and/or rear wheels are turned in or
out from a straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+).
