My coach drives and rides as well as ever. Virtually no wander any more, and tracks straight with no hands on the wheel. But there is noticeable torque steer - accelerating from a stop, accelerating on the highway - and now I see the front tires are wearing about 2X as fast as the rears. This is after a 1 ton front end, new steering box, new torsion bars, corrected ride height, and a professional alignment (not a GMC expert, but has done a few of them), and a new motor mount.

So, how best to investigate this one, how concerned should I be (as far as using the coach), and where to start?

Jim Hupy mentioned an alignment review when we stopped by his place (thanks again Jim), but what do I tell my guy to check? I was there for the alignment, he did it to spec that I got from this forum. The torque steer was noticeable before the alignment, but I knew the motor mount was failing. Replacing the mount helped a lot, but did not eliminate the problem, and Jim and I did not notice excessive engine movement with brake on/accelerator on.

I would love to solve this one permanently.
