Default RE: Front end issues.

ORIGINAL: BrokenRex

have you ever driven a front wheel drive vehicle before? under power they do something called Torque-Steer. Some more than others, but an EP3 is not immune to it. Your wheel becoming off center can be completely unrelated. Different tire sizes can cause that. when was the last time you bought tires?
Yea I have driven FF all my life. I know about it's torque stear but this happens at all speeds even if I let off the gas and stearing wheel it will pull to the right pretty badly. The tire sizes have notbeen changed but the tires have been changed 3 or four times I forget. I checked them previously so I know that isn't the case. They are not low on preasure either. I just can't figure this out. Is there a component in the power stearing that can cause this? Or like maybe in that device that makes one wheel spin at a different rotation than the other?

Ok, so I looked under my car and I am no mechanic in any way other than oil changes and tire changes but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The car is still pulling badly to the right, I don't see any damaged struts, any bent rods, and my tires are not wobbling at all. My car is starting to really get on my nerves because two new problems popped up that I will make a new thread about here shortly. Recently actually my stearing wheel started moving to the right. I think that is an alignment issue because it occured after I spun out. I didn't hit anything and it was a low speed spin out but my stearing wheel now faces the same position but now in the oposite direction. Still pulls badly to the right. Other than the alignment I probably need now what could it still be?
