Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Torque steer is more common in front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles due to the uneven distribution of torque to the front wheels, which can cause the vehicle to pull to one side under hard acceleration. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles do not typically experience torque steer because the drive wheels are separate from the steering wheels.
