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 got my info from my Physics Professor on the NASCAR thing. My dad told me about the torque side thing. I don't see why that tire would always wear more without a reason. Both these guys could be wrong. My dad has a tendency to "talk" sometimes. I don't doubt the Nascar thing that you typed is true, but it also helps that the engine motion pulls that side down. Remember physics class and how gyroscopes work?
