car steering to the right?
ok so i just replaced my bad axle on my 2000 civic.. but now when i accelerate the steering is moving to the right.. it drives straight when i let off the gas but when i press the gas it moves to the right..

ok so i just read something about torque steer and im thinking the axle i put in was shorter or longer? then the one i had in? does that make sense?? i got it from autozone it was a duralast one.. it was the right one for my car though

could it be that the new axle is putting more power to that wheel now since its brand new.. anyone ever have a problem with torque steer after replacing an axle?

it kinda felt like this one time when i took my steering wheel off and put it one knotch over.. idk y that made it torque steer too.. wish i knew the answers just doesnt make sense
We need more info about your car, but some torque steer is normal for certain models where one axle is longer than the other with no intermediate shaft.
It could be your power steering also.

Here's your info.

the car is raised up right now.. i just changed the pass axle because it was shot i used a duralast one and now it has very bad torque steer to the right font listen to marc
basically i drove it before it drove fine and after the axle was replaced it has torque steer so i doubt its anything like the power steering it has to be something about the axle or whatever was taken off and put back on

It was the first thing said, and you completely disregarded it. When you unbolt the spindle arm (which you have to do to replace an axle) you mess with alignment components. Get your car aligned again, see if that solves the problem. Hint - it most likely will.

its raised up now it drove fine untill i needed a new axle.. the boot ripped and its been bad for a while.. but after i changed it when i accelerate the wheel goes to the right and feels like it just wants to go right idk wat to do..
Up how much? 1/2"? It's not torque-steer. I'm pushing nearly 200hp and I don't get torque-steer that bad, if at all.
no i raised it like 2-3 inches.. and it is torque steer listen when i let off the gas the car drives straight but when i accelerate the steering wheel goes to the right.. couldnt this be the cause of the axle being longer or shorter then the oem one??
