torque steer

what does the front strut tie bar do? I know it improves handling but specifically does it help reduce torque steer?

An Limited Slip Differential will reduce/eliminate torque steer.

yea sway bars nor strut bars will help torque steer
no suspension mod will help torque steer
torque steer is cause your car has different length driveshafts
and that is because the tc is fwd

are you shure you meant torque steer? Or did you mean oversteer? I really don't think the stock tC has enough power to have any really bad torque steer.
