It's still torque steer. The 4.0l has a decent amount of torque and the short wheelbase doesn't help. Do either Jeeps have a locked rear axle? That would make it worse too (My tj lifts the front left tire if I'm not careful, especially on turns). Otherwise it is just the torque of the driveline being transferred through the frame.one of the guys here in the office has the same problem with a YJ 4.0L and 33"s
Which made me begin to question.....why?
his 4.0L does not have the power to twist up like the a SBC.
It seems the spools are more street friendly than automatic lockers. I used to get a lot of torque steer out of my lock right. I have a full spool in the 9 inch that is going in my tj next, and I know I will like it better than the lock right.I run a spool in the rear, have a "little bit" of hp and don't get much torque steer at all.
That's what I thought too....then I changed the alignment and fixed it. :thumb:Wow, all those posts and no one posted the correct answer.
It is due to the drag link geometry, not frame flex..
When you accelerate, the front end rises up. This means that the angle of the drag link gets steeper, which pulls the steering to the left.
When you decelerate, the front end dives, and pushes the steering to the right.
The more steeply angled your drag link, the worse the problem.
That might be ONE of the causes, however it is FAR from the ONLY correct answer.Wow, all those posts and no one posted the correct answer.

It's one thing to offer your opinion but to say "Wow, all those posts and no one posted the correct answer.":stan3:
So nothing else has anything to do with it? Drag link is the only correct answer? I'm sure it has a part in it, but there are other factors that contribute as well. Is the YJ that he is asking about also the drag link? We don't know anything else about the setups on these 2 Jeeps. Do they have dropped pitman arms?Naw, CJ.. 3.5" lift... its the correct answer.
