Well I know for a fact fwd have torque steer really bad and fwd dsm's don't have equal length half shafts.
I would also like to know how this is fixed. My buddy has a caliber srt4 and it's insane almost undriveable at WOT.

i had a 97 gst and it dint drive like this .. it pulled left hard but when it started pulling right then left it was a mess i was expecting torq steer but this car was all over the place wich sucks because i want to gas it but the car cant handle it ,,,ANY IDEAS if theres something that can reduce it i was thinking bushings or something i already got the drop enginering motor mounts on order

Maybe LSD? I think the 97's had LSD. That should help a lot I think. Lets let other dsm'rs chime in and see what they say.

Is your suspension in decent shape?

I ran my old 90 at 20psi and never had any issues.

How do you know that he isn't? [insert evil laugh here]

Convert to AWD equal length shafts. Good luck finding the correct drivers side seal though. I'm betting a custom shim would have to be made. Years ago a seal did exist but I haven't heard of it in forever. You couldn't do it at all in a 93-94 car.

im looing into putting a all new set of bushings in think that would help, i looked online for some half shaft an axles from a 90 gsx for my gst and they dint look any difrent. but if that helps also i might do that too i just dont want to order them and have it be the same
