Just wondering, do 4WD vehicles suffer from torque steer?

They can do.
No hint of it on either of my Celica GT4's. Mike.
But I bet you the 4x4 Sierra Cossie does. Even tho I've never driven one ; )
nope :) cars that have big power AND a front LSD may do, but i've never experienced torque steer in any sierra 4x4 but even then, with an lsd fitted to the front you will not bet any steering feel as it's balancing the cars pwoer delivery, thus negating the effects that you are looking for :)
ALL cars with driven front axles suffer from torque steer it is just how much and how much the driver feels at the steering wheel that varies.
in that case, the sierra suffers from torque steer but you can't notice it as all the 4wd variants had power steering and this dulls the feedback you get from the front wheels (is that what you wanted to hear :) )

If the driven front wheels don't affect the steering on a 4WD car, the car doesn't *suffer* from torque steer. Which I guess is all Peter wanted to know. Mike.
