Torque steer?
 
My 1992 turbo car seems to developed torque steer. Under hard power it pulls to the left and when I get out of it it swaps and pulls to the right. Under normal driving it drives straight? What I break?

I'm guessing you've had a sudden increase in caster. Time for an alignment.

That would be my guess as well. When finished with the front end rebuild on mine, everytime I lifted to shift, it would pull. Get back on the gas and it would be fine. Alignment and all is well now.

Check your tire pressures.

Mine did this as a result of a bent cam bolt. I would say alignment.

It was so bad I thought sure something was bent or broken. Turns out it was the bobo tires I threw on there to pass inspection. They were some 185-60-14's that had a sidewall. I swapped back my well worn azenis and its all better. Who knew that a set of excellent condition tires with the correct pressure coulds do such a thing....not me. thanks.
