weird pulling when driving

this happened the other day...i was on the highway all of the sudden my wheel started pulling to the left.... and didn't stop so i pulled over... looked at the wheel, it all looked just fine. i started to drive and everything seemed ok again...

then today, kind of on and off, it starts pulling but only when i hit the gas.... when i am coasting it doesn't really pull, just when the throttle is pushed... any ideas as the what it could be?

its like a tugging feeling to the left in the wheel and if i let it go it will pull left.

Torque steer from the mad power your swap is making.

sounds like it could be a problem with the balljoints or tie rods. Check them out, see if the boots are torn and if the grease has leaked out, or if there is excessive play.

My brother's old 95 GSR had the same problem, turns out the mounts were all either bad/torn.
Replaced em and all was well.
