Vibration when accelerating & turning
 
In my 2002 P5 I had a strange steering/front end vibration as I accelerated (from a stop) while turning out of a parking lot. It quickly went away as I straightend out on the road.

The front end wheel movement was a combination of turning, compression (from dip onto road), and acceleration. Perhaps this is normal front wheel drive feedback (first front-wheel drive car I have owned)?

Any ideas?

Wheel hop/spin, torque steer?

Pro5's don't have a limited slip differential which can give you traction problems under hard acceleration. Sounds normal to me.

sounds like torque steer to me......NORMAL stuff for a FWD car.

Thank you. "Normal" is what I wanted to hear!
