breaking traction allways left side?, FWD G6 ST202 JDM spec Options

[alexjb]

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.

what do u mean the engine pulls that side down they are rear wheel drive so the drive shaft goes to the rear end then equal length to each tire so i think im confused on what u are saying, if you could please clarify.

It's from the rotation of the engine. It's a gyroscopic principle. The rotating mass will stabilize but it does pull a little harder on the one side. I'm not sure it's significant enough to really do much, I'm just relaying what I've heard. I don't know if it's true, I'm just stating what I was told. As far as the torque side thing, I thought it was talking about the right. My car seems to burn the right side faster. And that's the side I've heard the motor transfers torque better too. But like it said, I have no proof of this, only rumors.
