tq steer does exist...

Have him put the car on the rack & show you the screen.

If you are in the green on the rack computer, that will shut you up

I don't see tq steer as a problem...

Inspect everything & live with it...
An lsd would maybe help resolve it.

yea you're right, high enough torque to cause torque steer should be pretty non-existant on a stock gsr motor. mtber had a good idea, just take it back and have him show you the results.

i had an alignment on my last car, a toyota camry, and there was a little bit of give to the right when it was done, but it was so much better than before (i ran over a massive curb going like 60..lol, control arm, struts, everything ahd to be replaced)

btw, what garage did you take it to?
