It, is true, when the road is smooth the torque steer is minimal, but when changing lanes like on the west side highway where the road is not flat and uneven, I need two hands to control it. But what I dont understand is our svx's have equal half shafts(I think) so why would there be torque steer shouldnt the torque divide in half to both of the shafts?

The torque steer occurs because the road has troughs, and as the tires move from trough to trough, the contact patch with the road moves from the center of the tire to the outside or inside of the tire. This changes the effective scrub radius of the wheels and causes torque steer. Its very common and happens with FWD, AWD, and RWD cars to some degree.
