When I'm on the accelerator the car steers towards the right, once i let go of the accelerator and the rpm is dropping my car goes back to steering towards the left. Very unusual! its a 99 5 speed se

have you had an alignment recently? Perhaps your control arm bushings are shot as well. It could be about 20 things

changed both control arms 3 weeks ago, new steering bushings, new motor mounts, new struts (all 4). recently changed both front tires. No alignment yet

are you talking a lazy drift or like a hard torque steer? Is it when you're first starting to move, or every time?

Most FWD cars have torque steer and what-not, tha turns the wheel to the right by default (safety) when you whomp on it...

if it's just a lazy drift, then it's likely your alignment. ESPECIALLY since an alignment needs to be done when you screw with the steering and suspension system like you did.

All that suspension work and no alignment? That's your problem.

Agreed.

just did the alignment today, and i dont know how to explain it. I think it might be these ****ty tires. Its still not ... straight..

You did it or a shop did it? Take it back and ask them to check it and diagnose it.

Unless you wore your tires over that three week period, it shouldn't be them. Are they both new, same age, inflated?

i changed both the front tires with used tires. The guys are the tire shop told me they were good, i probably got played. Cus i felt the front tire on the passenger side and the inner part of it was smooth as a babies bottom, everytime im driving, out of no where it would pull towards the right.

Phromethius

if the inner part is worn on the right then before you got the alignment your front tires looked like this from above: |----/ Even after an alignment if you still have those same tires you will still feel a pull. This same thing just happened on the wife's car.

I changed my passenger control arm in the end of june and today when inspected sure enough the bushings are like bubble gum. The cause is a power steering leak coming from the high pressure hose and its dripping directly on top of the arm. So this might be the problem. right after i changed that arm the car was riding like a charm even with the ****ty tire..

BlazedHoisanLo

sure enough it was the control arm, i fixed the power steering leak. now it rides like a charm again. Lesson of the month dont buy cheap 30$ ebay control arms.
