Torque steer should be solvable with suspension setup TBH. The DON does not torque steer, mainly because the suspension is all rose jointed.

Those colunms are fooking heavy. You couldn't undo all your hard work by fitting one On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:

If you have torque steer, and your geometry is in spec, you need to revise your offset to bring the contact patch closer to the KPI contact.

oh, and yes - the 16v boys have a lot of stuff on the corsa columns on their site, but it is one SERIOUSLY HEAVY piece of equipment, plus you need to add bracing (weight) to make it happen.

I drove a scooby with an electirc P/S set up, it worked really well and felt fine. Can't help you out with issues fitting ect though. Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

Hmm some interesting points! I'd be interested to find out how much they weigh, they do look 'all there'. lol Thats the only real negative I could see with fitting one. Ive been scanning the 16v forum...lots of info but not found anything on weight yet?

I just had a look on ebay to see how much they go for. I had no idea they were so cheap! On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:

Matty is your front suspension rose jointed?
I seriously doubt it! |

Pics are always good. :) Yeah they are damn cheap, so no great loss if it doesn't work apart from a little time. Paul - no rose joints what so ever, is the ride ok on a road car? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Yes it is Matty, I got rid of a lot of what I thought was torque steer by fitting RJ bottom arms and tie bars then setting tracking parallel.
I seriously doubt it! |

What was happening was as a wheel lost traction due to being stiffly sprung on bumpy roads, the car went in the direction the other wheel was pointing. As it was set toe out, the wheel with traction wasnt actually pointing forwards. It was all exagerrated by the Salisbury plate diff. Paul Which funnily enough is the diff fitted to most cars that have PAS conversions (probably unnecessarily judging by your comments!)) On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

We considered this conversion at one point, but in the end fitted UJs in the column to get the steering wheel in a better position.

So how much difference does tyre choice make to torque steer? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
