Default Odd steering problem...

Not that clued up this type of thing, but here goes:

Car drives in a straight line no problem, and no judder whatsoever. but, when you put the power down the car starts veering to the right a bit, and jerks back when you let off.

Not had a chance to look at it yet, ie tyre pressures etc.

Any ideas?

Im sure its just a recent thing....

I'd 99% say tyre pressures. Had the same thing a few weeks ago.

The nice repair man pulled a two inch nail from the tyre.

Hi all, thanks for the responses.

Tyre's look pretty even but ive not checked the pressures yet. Will do tomorrow! Checked all the nuts were tight and they were

Hope it is just pressures
