Torque steer on an 87 5KTQ

[Martin Pot]

I have had the same problem but worse, the car would pull to left with gas
down, and pull to right with gas up. This caused for some real dangerous
driving. I found out that it was caused by  worn out, upper strut mounts.
Very easy and inexpensive to replace and you should definitely check them.
These cars do drive very true and straight when suspension and steering is
within specs.
