    Ridiculous torque steer

    Alright guys heres the problem:
    -car jerks left and right
    -when taking a sharp right turn thumping noise

    Whats the solution? I already replaced my upper balljoint, outer tie rod end, lower ball joint, sway bar endlinks, wheel bearing, and axle. Im lowered with about a 2-3 finger gap up front and 3-4 in rear. Now a few things that i know of that might fix it tell me what you think:
    -bald tires up front
    -no camber kit
    -no p/s

    All comments are appreciated. I am just stuck with suspension and steering problems and have ran out of ideas.

    Is this all the time or under heavy acceleration? Torque steer only happens under heavy acceleration.

      Correct. - Op what makes you think the issue is torque steer?
      When did you have your last wheel alignment done?

      If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

        It doesnt happen under heavy acceleration only but just accelerating in general. Im getting new tires tomorow and another allignment. I had an allignment done a few months back with my camber kit on but i had to take it off because of the uca hitting. After the camber kit came off i didnt get another allignment.

          Chances are is that you just need an alignment, which you're getting taken care of tomorrow.

          If the problem still persists, let us know. There are a few other things you could check.

              Alright guys the allignment did a lot of help! and maybe the tires too. But my toe was ridiculous but it was fixed. Camber was and is bad but i only got another month so i think itle be fine. The ONLY problem now suspension wise is when im taking right turns theres a klunking/throbbing noise and i didnt see anything that may be rubbing on my driver side or passenger side. Any ideas?

                  I just replaced the axle though. And i torqued the axle nut so i know its on there. Anyway that its my sway bar bushings since i only replace the end links and not the two middle ones on the front? Or maybe the end links are to weak?

                    So do you guys think its still just the axle or cv joint? Should i just return take back the axle and ask for a replacement one? It sounds like shit when taking turns

                      Is it maybe an autozone brand or something like that? From what I see time to time on the site is that members have a lot of trouble with cheaper cv joints

                        I guess its like an autozone type but from napa. I'm sure there the same quality but its not like I've got anything done to brake axles or cv joints. Where would you guys recommend that I get the axle from? Dealership probably wants to much.
