    Re: From China with Love

    I would think it more has to do with toe alignment of your suspension to be honest. If there was never an alignment after a transmission job then it could cause that. I don't know of any way to do a transmission swap (especially o2m) without having to either drop the subframe or pull apart the drivers side control arm/ball joint to get the axle out of there.
    Not sure i entirely agree with more torque getting sent to the left wheel because of axle length, it would be more up to the output shaft drive gears than the axle length one would think.

    Do a rough eye alignment tonight and see if one of the wheels is off significantly. Tire pressure can lead to wandering but it shouldn't affect torque steer that greatly i wouldn't think. Unless you are peeling out significantly both wheels like typical Jerry style

    I read up more on torque steer, because mk4 axles are shorter on the left side it gets more torque and should pull to the right but now its pulling to the left. Could it be tire pressure or engine and transmission alignment within the engine bay? I'm gonna go check the tire pressure tonight.

    Yeah I have no idea why but the torque steer is defintely there, tunedub told me it was an alignment issue, but I had no time to align it so I don't know... I have doubts in their assumptions because I never had the problem before the new tranny though.
