Definition of torque steer anyone?

Can someone give me a bit of blurb about why a RS Turbo pulls to one side when you floor it... ie torque steer!
as my local monkey mechanic thinks he knows best

Cheers,
Dan

Possibly something to do with where your gearbox is located.

The two driveshafts aren't exactly equal length...........

The LSD is there to try and prevent this but like alot of things Ford, it aint up to the job.

A Quaife item does help but it doesnt come cheap!
