We thought it was just a characteristic of driving a Focus RS MK3 but just a simple change of the illegal front tyres has eliminated 99% of the unbelievably bad torque steer. We also have another car that has come in place of ben's S3, together with more news on the GTR problem. Also the focus has a few things removed to make it look a little less "Chavy" 😂

    A few things to check for you... 1. Make sure you have the head gasket correctly updated by Ford with the latest revision. Not heard you mention that. Also check that water levels in coolant are holding. Check the Ford ETIS page with your VIN or number plate. 2. Check with Mountune in Essex as they will have records if it was done there but Ford should be able to tell you if it was done at a dealer. You could check for a new recirc valve as that would be a good indication too - that was part of the kit. 3. Sounds like you haven't tried launch control yet - worth it. I'm guessing you may have some clutch slip though. You can also flat foot shift 1st - 2nd then. 4. Those shell seats are even higher. If you'd have gone for those, there is no vertical adjustment either. 5. If it's a keeper, I'd suggest 3rd party security. Good luck with it! Ps, I'll have the mudflaps!!😅

    Evening Stu. Thanks for the advice mate! We have confirmation of the head gasket being sorted by Ford thankfully. Spoke with someone we know at Ford who doesn’t have any record of it being a genuine Ford Mountune which leads us to believe they’ve been added by the previous owner. We’ll definitely be giving the launch control a go though so watch this space. As for the mud flaps I’ve promised them to someone in an earlier comment my apologies, if that doesn’t come off I’ll be sure to send them your way. Thanks for watching it’s ,icy appreciated 👍🏼

    Hey guys....yes the alignment will be important too. I still have an inequality in the front camber which can cause a pull. But it has lessened as the new tires have run in. I've had three alignments since I got it lol bc of the tire problem. I finally had to do a tie rod end adjustment myself to get the wheel and steering to be straight. Nobody knows or cares what they are doing any more. I think in the UK you have really good car techs who care!

    I’m 56 and now own a Blue Edition RS. I had a 66 plate from new. And had torque steer from the word go. It’s not your tyres though they might add to the issue. You need a Quaife which was added to the edition and don’t have the torque issue. Seems like the previous owner didn’t change the tyres at all. Or they had a track day before they got rid, There would be a good reason why this went to auction. Check the gasket recall was done and I’ve heard this set have had issues with gear boxes. The mountune stuff could of been bought online from them direct and put on by the previous owner. So ford wouldn’t have any record. Mountune would. As for the drift mode. You shouldn’t be driving about in it. Yes the dampers are stiff but that’s how it is. Launch control is a setting you have to engage. You can’t just rev the engine and let the clutch out. As for the slipping clutch. With that mileage it’s not unusual. Maybe the previous owner rode the clutch. Ford clutches aren’t known for being long lasting. I once had a clutch start slipping on a Focus after 20k. And I’m not poor in my clutch control. Good luck and hope you don’t get too many issues. With all the cars you’re highlighting at that location, hope you have security and put fobs in faraday bags. I had a gang try and nick my RS off the drive a few weeks ago. They couldn’t get a signal so tried to break in.

Performance cars don't like tyres worn to a level that's acceptable on everyday cars. Having said that the wear pattern on the Focus tyres suggests a big problem with the front suspension.

    My brand new RS, in 2017, torque steered from the day I collected it. Well, more like the steering veered to the right, sometimes quite violently. That and the bouncy ride led to me selling the RS 2 months later, shortest time I've had a car. I loved how it looked and it felt special but as soon as I heard about the head gasket issues, on top of everything else I got rid. Shame really, should have been the dream car. A modern day EVO I thought. Love your GTR BTW, the best colour.

I believe some Mountune springs were black and looked like standard springs, I think the blue mountune springs suffered with paint flaking off and premature rusting. Your ride def looks a lot bumpier and harder than std too !!

    My experience with tires on a new RS was bad. A new set of Mich AS/3+ and one front tire had a 1/2" larger circumference than the others. Caused bad light power steer issue with pull under low power and opposite steering under deceleration. Really weird and hard to find. But I found it and TireRack USA sent me two new front tires and reimbursed me for the mounting and balancing. Good for them but it took me months to figure it out. I thought there was something really wrong with the chassis. FYI, all four tires on an RS need to have to same circumference while inflated!

    @@SIBUK omg it took a while thinking and reading. Then did most of the tire pull diag procedure on the TireRack site and then did more reading and finally measured the tires inflated and deflated once off the rims outer and inner tread circumference. If it were in the rear it would've been even harder to find. I read that some bad radial tires have off centered belts manufactured that allow the tire to grow when @ pressure therefore causing a tire pull due to the conical shape of the tire. The tire that is bigger makes the car pull to the opposite side bc it is traveling farther every rotation just like a rolling cup. I did my measurements with a string but now bought a tire tape measure and will use it religiously in the future. btw - the RS has (PDC), pull drift compensation programmed into the AWD system so I think that was compensating for the larger tire when under high load and it would drive straight.. It would only happen at very low throttle and decelerations. So weird, I totally thought the chassis was f***ed. I had the car aligned three times bc of this and it had 7000mi on it.

    Greetings from Australia! Good to hear new tyres fixed the torque steer issue. We also have a MK3 Focus RS and it has no torque steer at all. Was going to suggest you check the tyres and wheel alignment before condemning the car as a torque steering pig. With regard to the clutch ... definitely needs replacing as the slip will only get worse. The clutch on these are pretty reliable if not abused through poor driving habits and excessive launches. Was a joy to see you remove the mud flaps from your RS as they look shite! Can I make a suggestion with your wheels? If you are going to refurbish them why not strip the black off them and make them silver. I think they are a terrific looking wheel but hate them in black (I hate black wheels) as black just looses all definition of where the wheel ends and the tyre begins. Just a suggestion as it would be a nice point of difference on your RS having silver forged wheels. (Subscribed)
