Thanx


If you actually want some constructive advise you'll have to provide at least a minimum number of details.

You don't mention it, but from the sound of your message would we be correct in assuming that the torque steer is worse than it has been in the past?

Is this an auto or MTX "(forced down shift)" leads one to presume that it's an auto?

Such a subjective term as "really bad" doesn't tell anyone anything!!!

"tries to wrench itself out of my hands" is somewhat more objective but we still don't know enough. Is this while you are holding the wheel lightly with one hand? or while holding it firmly with both?

At what speeds are we talking?

By "hard accell" are you referring to full throttle or will this happen at less than full throttle?

Does the wheel always pull in the same direction?

Have you driven on both sides of the crown of a road (best done on a divided highway) and noticed any difference in the direction or severity of the pull?

Don't expect a remedy at least until there has been a diagnosis as to what the problem is!!!
All you've done so far is give a very sketchy outline of a symptom, so next we need to determine the cause, then comes the possibility of a solution.

More details please.
