Tyres all have 40psi in them. My sticker was rippped hence didn't see the 21 bit.....Had alignment done at kwikfit, And it's still the same :( it was tuned today and while it was on dyno you could see the drivers front wheel shaking! Badly buckled! So now have just book tht in to have straightened out. Then once that's done if the torque steer is still there then it's time to try find a alignment specialist.

Do u think that the buckle could be causing my torque steer? Like when flooring it the wheel is wobbleing that much it's not keeping flat on the ground! ?

Did a search and seen loads of guys having problems with the buckled wheels on these. Wonder if the hole torque steer problems are all down to buckled wheels!
I have had my car tuned, I've also had the alignment done by a specialist.

There is still crazy amounts of torque steer at the moment, i haven't had proper 1st/2nd gear grip since early October. Back end is wild just now and car will happily go sideways if it's not corrected.

You'll probably be chasing your tail, you can't defy the laws of physics ;)

Damp cold roads and 1000nm of torque to blame for that Mike, it was a lot more manageable when it was warm and dry so I presume my alignment is good and all down to the current cold conditions. Launching from the brakes is just a major No-No :lol:

Yes standard power and good traction conditions for me too. I know you are running more power Leo. I thought you said it did it as standard too but I may have misread.

I just told them to get it as close to OEM settings as they could.
