Well I floor it every time I drive it, and I've never noticed or had to fight any torque steer. And with it being a manual I'm generally accelerating with one hand on the wheel.

2H?

2H?

Normally 4A in Sport.

I suggest you try again in 4H release the wheel and accelerate it should pull left…

OP states that it's a violent pull to the left, in addition to vibration in the pedal. He stated that he normally drives in Sport 4A prior to the new suspension and never noticed what he is experiencing now. I do have a slight pull to the left in Sport 4A, as you describe in your thread. OP's sounds different. Hopefully, his shop will be able to take a look at it for him soon.

Stock pull left in 4A/4H should not be violent but it does command you to hang on and correct.

yes that’s not super noticeable like the steering though. I just feel it if that makes sense. Oh and my breaks squeak now when at slow speeds lol. Fml.

It's kind of disappointing that they didn't offer any suggestions, but I guess I get it. It's really hard to troubleshoot an issue like this without experiencing the issue firsthand.

I hadn't thought of this until you mentioned squeaking brakes, and I really don't think it's the cause of your issue, but it's at least *possible* that your front brake caliper is dragging.

At this point, I think you're going to have to take it back to the installer and demonstrate the problem for them.

As others have mentioned, torque steer is real, but we've got 3 6G Broncos and I've never noticed it being significant in any of them. It definitely shouldn't be pulling as violently as you say yours is.

Good luck, man! It's frustrating to spend so much cash on upgrades only to have it turn out like this. The good news is that it can definitely be fixed and I think you'll be really happy with the result once it is.

Do you have a track bar relocation bracket? or just an adjustable track bar?

I've got a stepbrother that's been saying I should use his shop for any new shocks etc. He's in College Station, which is >3hrs away. This thread is a big reason why I've not wanted to do that, since the people who would work on it are so far away. What if I needed to tow it back?

 

[James Cole]

Let us know how it goes….

 

[Fordified1]

It’s not a front wheel drive vehicle! It shouldn’t have torque steer! Damn I’m sorry they think it’s ok.

Additional update. He explained how he air hammers the shocks out and doesn’t remove the CV’s when he did the install. How he explained it did make sense and he said they looked good.

I also asked about why the shocks were all the way firm on one side and all the way soft on the other side, and he just said “that wouldn’t cause this.”

Red flag.

I suspect the next step is to find another shop to take a look at it.
