Factory LSD?

Factory LSD?
Ok so I have a simple question. From my understanding, the TL has a helical gear type lsd? Or at least I am under the impression that the Type S's and the 6spd 04-06's do. If this is true then why does my TL torquesteer all over the place?! You can blame it on fwd, but my 300whp supercharged RSX never torquesteered once I put the quaife in so I'm confused

your RSX doesn't have TQ compared to the TL. TL is larger displacement and its a 6cyl. It already have minor tq steer stock. The TL-S have LSD which help with Tq steer but still too much power on a FF is a no no.

manual tl has no less than 220lbs tq
best way to get rid of torque steer is drop it and run slightly wider tires and/or lower offset

Let's not forget about gear ratios as well. You can put lot's of torque down with a 4 banger with the right set up.

I dunno I have had issues of tq steer with the car but personally it does not bother me at all honestly. After you are moving the factory LSD works just fine. I have taken the TL in stock trim off to country roads and so on and it handles pretty well. I got the 6mt also.

I do not have issues with WOT shifting when hitting bumps...The only issue I have is when I turn and punch it it torque steers bad. Other than that everything else I have no complaint. The bump issue I had went away when I changed out my wheels I dont have that big of an issue with bump steer now compared to the stock wheels.

I think it's a bit heavy but adds to the overall planted feel of the car. I hate over boosted p/s systems - like grandma's caddy where you can spin the wheel lock to lock with your pinky while parked.

well, maybe the drop and suspension upgrade added a touch of feel but, my wheel has always been super in touch with the front end.

You guys want over boosted? Drive a buick...I can't stand my dads park avenue ultra. Its nice that its light but when you turn that thing makes you feel like your turning nothing.

It was kinda wierd getting used to the TL-S tight turning but after a while I grew to like it... This is my first car as in I always had trucks and for the overall functionality and styling of the car for price I like it. I drive my moms new Vette and its steering is way too light IMO ... Torque steer is a lil crazy at times especially when I WOT up the inclined onramp that has bumps in it... You probably dont want to be in the lane next to me as I might take you out haha

Maybe my terminology is incorrect. I know that my TL doesn't dart unpredictably to one side or the other going in a straight line during a low traction situation. The front end will always drift to the right(on a road that tapers to the shoulder anyway) unlike the other front drivers I've owned that had open differentials. The TL is actually the first front drive I've had with a LSD diff(that's why I got the 6MT)![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

The Tl is noticeable but it is correctible if you anticipate it. Low traction situations I have had the car will drift right but its controllable to where it doesnt matter as much. But to some people that is still considered an annoying torque steer issue. Its common in most FWD vehicles some cars such as the altima keep in a straight line usually.
