I agree....even a crappy alignment will not cause torque steer.

Something is up with the tires. If all else fails, temporarily switch the rear tires and see if the car pulls in the opposite direction under acceleration.

Man.....I remember when I first got my car, I had a valve stem failure in the rear. Went to drive away and hit the gas, car veered bad to one side. Let of the gas, car came back the other way. Felt like I had a broken control arm.

It was only 13 psi difference that caused it.

Hahaha, that's funny Bill. When I took delivery on my car the left rear tire was at 18 PSI, and the rest of the tires were at 32 PSI, and I thought something was SERIOUSLY wrong with the car. The tire looked fine, so there is no way it could be causing the problem, or so I thought.

I think you can feel a difference of 2 PSI or less.
