Horrible torque steer and even worse fsport seat!!
#46
I tested the torque steer on my F-Sport AWD and it's definitely there but not terrible.
There's a lot of discussion here about the NX being FWD bias on AWD models. I haven't driven any AWD SUVs that have a RWD bias but I would like to know if there is a big difference.

Hey everyone I just wanted to say thanks for all of your input.
I have corrected the problem of my original post.
I ended up going to my dealer a few weeks ago and complained again about the wheel pulling excessively on take off. Even a slow take off.
They put my NX on the lift and to my surprise it showed my rear wheels (both) out of toe.
This was very interesting because the same dealer who put it on the lift a few months ago said my car was in perfect alignment.
Mind you from day one my car has had a bad pull to the right wether hard or slow acceleration.
So after the dealer corrected my back wheels I drove my car.
The feeling I got was the feeling I should have had from day one.
The car felt like it was driving itself. Minor adjustments in the steering wheel but effortlessly.
Now if I hit the accelerator hard it will pull to the right but not like it did before and if I accelerate normal the wheel stays straight.
So to all those who say they don't experience what I was talking about now I know why.
I can't for the life of me understand how a few months ago they said it was fine and now they were way out.
Only explanation I can think of is Lexus released an update to the dealers for their alignment machines.
Anyway thanks again all.
