That shaft is exactly what I'm referring to - it results in an unequal left/right setup, which some say causes torque steer. I'm not getting into the torque steer argument. The only 'torque steer' I've experienced with my Saabs (90016vT and 9kT) is when it's clear that the tyres are loosing traction. So say the left side looses some traction while accelerating hard, the car pulls to the right. Nothing to do with driveshaft length. -- Grunff
