Hi,
Couldn't find this anywhere else but I'm sure it's out there.... but, is it all FWD celicas that break the left wheel traction first? I had a similar problem on a modofied rover metro turbo (don't worry its crap and english, you don't need to know!) which has the mini A series engine with non equal length drive shafts, this caused the traction break and indeed torque steer in the metro. Is the Celica the same? New tyres both sides, shocks in good condition, just can't explain it. -------------------- A plesant chap with no ulterior motives

i think the driverside drive axle is shorter than the passenger side. it would make sence because the transmission is on the driverside of the block. Oh yea, it isn't a honda.

Oh yea, it isn't a honda. Diverside for you, passenger (left) side for me, sort of explains it though. LSD is a bit pricey for me, will have to put up with it.
