Equal lenght cv joints

[AveoSS]

your talking about the axles, like i asked. the cv joints are the same size on both sides.

but your saying you want a carrier bearing axle like a saturn, thing is, that wont really help torque steer at all. not sure why you think the versa doesn't have it even if it has equal length axles most of the torque steer you would be feeling is the fact that only one wheel gets power under acceleration, and you need to "turn" to point that wheel forward with the car, a diff will make both wheels spin equally regardless of axle length. Eliminate pretty much all the torque steer that you can feel, but it makes handlingin corners feel very different. The common reason torque steer is blamed entirely on different length axles is the longer axle is usually the drive wheel, most of the time. It really the axle shaft pitches on the cv joints, if you adjust the car accordingly, with the diff the torque steer will go away completely.

Thanks for the imfo, I've seen very few cars with the 'carrier bearing', I did not know Saturn has the same set up.

I don't think I've ever seen a vehicle with equal length drive shafts. I'm not even sure that that has that much to do with torque steer... I highly doubt your drive shafts are flexing THAT much under the massive power output of the Aveo.

U guys are right, this thread was a dumb idea!

I'm sure the fact that the motor mounts are so soft that they are responsible for 90% of the torque steer.
