This is a needle in the hay stack question and not related to a Fiero. I’m looking for a video link regarding a 2008 -2010 Dodge Journey and torque steering(pulling on acceleration). It’s a long story but if you know of a link please PM me. I know it’s normal just looking for video proof.

Thank you in advance

Sorry can't help with the Journey, but I test drove a 2011 Avenger with a piddly 2.4ltr and I thought it pulled awful to the right under hard acceleration.

I have a 2013 Dodge Journey, with all-wheel drive. I don't notice any pulling at all.

Thank you both for your reply’s. From what a tech told my at a Chrysler Dealer was that between 2008-2010 or 2011 that Chrysler didn’t use half shafts on these vehicles and they were terrible for torque steer and it will naturally pull to the right which is the side with the longer shaft. Much worse with winter tires. On the 2011 apparently Chrysler added a half shaft on the Journeys right axel which removed the issue. My 08 Grand Caravan doesn’t have a half shaft on the right axel and it pulls very hard to the right on hard accel as well. I have come across a few mentiones of pulling to the right on early Journey models and worse if it was an AWD or a V6 but was hopping to find a video on the subject describing it for this particular car. No luck yet and not sure if it exists?
