Default torque steer questions

Okay I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not but I have a question about torque steer. I've been getting it a lot in my car when accelerating hard. I've searched and read through the posts about it but there really isn't a definate answer I believe. I kind of believe that it cannot be fixed in front wheel drive cars but I was still wondering why my car is doing it so much. I've got a 88 crx dx with 90-93 integra rear disks, complete es suspension bushings, jimfab traction bar, ys1 transmission with quaife lsd. I was just wondering if you guys could throw any suggestions on minimizing the torque steer. Any suggestions, help, ideas, theories would be greatly appreciated.

That's weird, when I put in my LSD, I no longer have torque steer problems. You have a good alignment?

its the lsd...the quaiffe is a really strong heavy duty lsd it will always make the car torque steer

get some suspension. nice linear coilovers, nice fat rear swaybar. I would even go as far and say loose the traction bar.

A camber kit is a must for your little 2200 lb hatch. Lower that center of gravity, then get like 1 degree of negative camber in the front. 0 or whatever your preference for rears.

88 civic dx's didnt have spirited driving in mind during the delelopment stage

could be alignment. rear wheels not tracking the same as the fronts. even though the car goes straight down the highway.
