[QUOTE="ragerunner, post: 4495183, member: 89285"] Hi guys, thank you so much for all input and suggestions, your help is very very much appreciated :adore::adore::adore: FYI, I went to the workshop today requesting for change of ball joint and tie rod end, as told to me by the tire shop. My foreman checked the assembly and told me that my ball joint was good, only the tie rod end needed replacement. [COLOR="Red"][B]After changing the tie rod end, the "torque steer"problem was gone!:biggrin:[/B][/COLOR] Brought the car back to the tire shop and they could do proper alignment now that the tie rod end had been fixed. When I told the guy who did the alignment for my car about this problem I had faced, he said that he could also feel it when he test drove the car after doing computer alignment, but the curious thing is that he said the car pulled to the left while accelerating.:hmmmm: Anyway, after alignment was done, I drove my car and hardly felt that problem there anymore, if any. The car is much nicer (and safer) to drive now. I still feel that something's loose in my car, and that the steering wheel still shakes/moves slightly when I travel over uneven road surfaces. Will bring the car back to my foreman for further troubleshooting, if any. Based on all your feedback, it seems that there are a few probable causes for this "torque steer" problem. Mine was solved by replacing the tie rod end. As for other bros who are facing the same problem, maybe troubleshooting can be started from the parts mentioned and suggested above ie. ball joint, tie rod end, bushes etc. Good luck and hope you'll solve your problem too. :smile: Once again, thank you so much for all the input and help from all of you guys.
