Or they balanced out the uneven drive-shaft (last time I had another FWD Mobis/Hyundai/Kia on a lift, it's apparent that they DO balance the driveshaft).

Of course, I haven't "floored" it yet, although we did drive the blue Veloster Turbo Automatic that Hyundai lent us for a week pretty hard (on Angeles Crest Highway) and I did not notice any significant torque steer.
