FWD will always give a little torque steer but the wandering is cause for some concern. I would take it to a good alignment shop and tell them to check the car thoroughly for evidence of damage.

W-bodies are known for broken sway bars in the front. The end where the link connects can rust and split, eventually breaking off. An easy check.

My bad. Any movement of the motor can cause torque steer. The hydraulic motor mount is prone to leak and collapse. I'd check that too. It's an easy fix.

I learned about torque steer real easy when I had my srt-4. Stage 3 moper kit on it with air-shifter would change lanes on me whenever i reached 15-20psi boost. Wholeshots smoked the engine mount bushing twisting the engine in the cradle under acceleration. That change in axle geometry caused a severe pull to the left it would literally "jump" lanes

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
