Torque steer - definition of Torque steer in Encyclopedia (821 words)
It is a result of the offset between the point about which the wheel steers (which falls at a point which is aligned with the points at which the wheel is connected to the steering mechanisms) and the centroid of its contact patch.
The tractive force acts through the centroid of the contact patch, and the offset of the steering point means that a turning moment about the axis of steering is generated.
Torque Steer is often incorrectly attributed to differing rates of twist along the lengths of unequal front drive shafts.
