Thought torque steer was when a large in line engine (not transverse mounted like volvo) was quickly gased so that the spining crank would cause torque and the engine would lean or rock in the direction of the spin causing the front end to do the same and the alignment would briefly cause the car to...

I believe these are the reverse switching part of the sw...
