    Difficulty steering under heavy throttle

    I've noticed this frequently at a particular intersection. When the light goes green, I go making a left turn, it's sometimes really difficult to turn the wheel. i have to lift a bit to get it to allow me to turn. Today, i noticed this coming off the freeway and made my cheeks pucker a bit as I was exiting briskly. this time, it BARELY turned... Any ideas?

    Torque steer seems too obvious to even suggest. But I will anyway. What axles you running?

      So, going back to this guy... No it's not torque steer. lol. I wish. I'm pretty sure it was because i had a leak in power steering fluid, which is now fixed. So, fresh topped fluid, and fixed issues, should negate my previous quarrel.
