Thicker oil/stiffer springs would help it. Mine doesn't torque steer at all |

won't stiffer spring make the movement too stiff for this size ride? i am using maxx shocks with stock oil & springs. they are mounted to the axles & cantilever hole should i move the chassis placement? |

I'd say stiffer springs, or atleast preload more on that side. If you move the shocks to a further out hole, you might limit suspension travel, but you should also counteract the torque roll more because the shocks at more of a perpendicular angle, giving them greater efficiency.

I run the same shocks with the same springs mounted in almost the same posistion. But I use 35wt oil so that might help. Is your TLT extended or stock length
