wheel hop/torque steer



get new lower control arms.

wheel hop and torque steer are not common on a fresh suspension. it is a heavy car.
 
What is torque steer? The reason im asking is my car is swerving in the lanes, and i just put new sway bar bushing on the front, and it didnt work?

Get on a straight away at like 30 mph and punch it.

Watch your steering wheel move without you turning it physically.

That's TQ. Steer...
 
torque steer is from the massive amounts of power being put down the from wheels and its wanting to walk to one side or the other under heavy throttle.

Your problem is an allignment issue.
 


I am getting some wobble in my right front tire area

recently I had the hub replaced on the left front wheel and the control arm on the right front wheel.

Because of the wobble in the right front now, is that hub going bad?

This especially happens under heavy acceleration.

Usually a hub will growl or whine because the bearings are going out. A wobble would usually be something wrong with the tire, alignment issue???
 
tcman49,
I have to agree with TLSheff, it sounds like more of a tire issue. You may want to take the vehicle in for an inspection, possibly an alignment. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
