Default Any way to lessen torque steer?

After a fun long run of 15 years of driving 4wd/rwd vehicles, ive forgotten how bad the torque steering is on fwd cars, or is this the “complaint” ive been hearing about thru these reviews?

so, what have others have done to help combat it? Starting my “maintenance/upgrade” list and after i get an exhaust on it, well itll snowball rom there. Just got the thing and love it and will become my ticker toy/ summer joy after i get a new motor in my truck.

unless you are heavy on the throttle coming out of corners, you shouldn't really notice it. If you do, I'd start by making sure you don't have any worn front suspension bits (control arm bushings/sway bar end links/bushings, struts/mounts etc) and that your wheels are in good alignment (get a proper 4 point job done). Also, what condition are the tires in and are they the correct size?

havnt got that far yet, still trying to understand how the to the damn air filter gets removed and havnt had much time since i got it to really get in. i can tell you they are newer tires, dealer said they changed them and got decent tread, but where i notice it, is when pedal to metal in straight lines, it pulls to the left. iowa doesnt have good corners that are clean right now, waiting for more summer time weather to really see what it can do.
