If Transverse FFs have torque steer, is there a similar phenomenon

>>16758997
Do they have rear wheel steering?
Like a fork lift?
Wtf are you smoking?

SNAP OVERSTEER

>>16759001

If the rear driveshafts are not equal in length, power transmission from the diff to the wheels is inherently imbalanced. Would this not produce some sort of uneven pushing effect?

>>16758997

This is exactly why 2nd gen MR2's are death traps

>>16759019
why wouldn't they be an equal length? Also the diff will transfer power as it sees fit (sometimes incorrectly), so the driveshaft length wouldn't be a deciding factor.

>>16759019
No
>>16759033
No

>>16759019
Equal in weight actually.

>>16758997

No.

Not quite. There's snap oversteer as the weighty back end snaps around like a pendulum, overtakes the front end, and then heads in it's own direction heedless of brakes or steering, while shredding the rear tires.

Why are you so mad?

>>16758997
They do if you drive it in reverse.

Fucking retard.

>>16758997
>>16759019
Yeah, but it's less noticeable because you can't feel it through the wheel. Also, because the rear thrust angle is allowed to change, you don't get the situation where a slight torque steer effect turns into a self-reinforcing mechanical steering effect.

tl;dr: transverse is cancer, but less cancer in an MR2 than a Civic.

>>16759037
Because there's an engine in the way. The MR2 uses a transverse setup like most FF cars. Look at the relative lengths of a FF car's halfshafts some time. They're nearly all offset to some amount.

>>16759040
Equal in spring rate, actually.

>>16761259
>because the rear thrust angle is allowed to change
Isn't*

>>16758997
rear wheels don't need to turn so are more securely in pace
the front wheels have many linkages to complicate things
