Here's an addendum to my first reply:

As will just about all front wheel drive cars, the Escort/Lynx will display a
phenomenon known as torque steer, which will be most noticeable under
acceleration. As for the exact explanation of why it happens, well, geez, I
would have to read up on the reason. 

Anyways, in steady cruising, you really should not be able to notice it, and
thus my first reply still stands as far as I am concerned. 

But, obviously, I am willing to stand corrected.
