Serious Torque Steering

[Grey Vw]

That's what I did. What's the correct procedure?

Because of the style of suspension and the direction of the ball joint, you must unload the front suspension (both sides at the same time). This removes any upward force from the sway bar into the LCA. From there you can do one of two things: pull down on the LCA or use a pry bar to push it down from the knuckle, OR, grab the tire below the horizontal centerline and opposite the steering arm and shake. Also look for play at the pinch bolt and pin area.

I just went out and checked my LCA ball joints and they were very tight. I did find a half missing sway bar to LCA bushing and one of my tie rods had an 1/8" of play.

I also have a Rio rack going in and ordered the Moog bushings.

Oh yeah, that sway bar to control arm bushing is very important. Time for a suspension overhaul by the sounds of it. When I put coilovers on, I usually do control arms, bushings, wheel bearings, and brakes at the same time, so I know what's under the car.

A bad rack has a simmilar effect. Usually its most noticable in long sweepers while feathering on and off the throttle.

What parts are included in a rack rebuild. I have all new LCA's and tie rod ends , also I have all new bushings on my sway bar but I still have horrible torque steer. My steering wheel feels a little sloppy too.

I had bad torque steer on my last festival with aspire swap front and rear. Tries new sway bar to body bushings, sway bar to control arm bushings. Ended up being a bad motor mount. I don't remember which one it was. I replaced all three at the same time. And the torque steer was solved
