Default Issue when driving straight

Hey guys i need some help My car is acting weird and i dont know whats the cause.

This seem to happen over night. But now when i drive if i give the car gas it pulls to the left. and If i let off the gas it pulls a bit to the right then even outs. i drive about 50 miles to work and back a day and it really pissing me off on the Highway


I dont think it the Brakes cause car keeps straight when i use it. My tires still have life on them and my Coil-overs only have 10k on them and they are set a bit on the hard side. And the car is near stock height.

Someone told me it was the motor mounts but i wanted to check here first.

99.99% chance rear tire pressure is uneven from left to right.

what everyone else said.

if its not that a motor mount could be the issue, but i really doubt it. it would have to be really messed up, and you would be getting other signs. more than likely you have a low tire somewhere.

You guys are right i have a slow leak.
the Front Right and Rear left were 15 lbs lower then the other 2.

I match the tire pressure last night before going home and it drove fine but this morning it started to happen again but it wasnt as bad as before. Im gonna go to a shop and see what up with the air leak.

Thanks
