Default torque steer problem?

Hi I'm looking for an advise from fellow s2k owners.. My car pulls left under acceleration and right under engine braking. Does this sound like a torque steer problem? Any ideas? Thank you!

Check your tire pressure.

+1 on tire pressures. It's not normal behavior.

Isn't torque steer a front wheel drive problem?

Almost certainly an alignment problem, given it's not tire pressure.
