Default need some major help

ok just recently i started to notice the car acting funny. Everytime i accelerate the car wiould want to go to the right, but when i let off it goes left. And when i drive normally its ok. Its just that when i start getting on it it wants to turn right and if i let off i would have to correct my steering so it wouldnt go left. Anyone know whats wrong?

don't panic, check the minor things first like tire pressure.

Make sure your tire pressure is even (both fronts same, both rears same), if that doesn't work get your car aligned.

yea ill have to check the tire pressure tomorow morning. I dont knwo if its the springs i installed awhile back. I never got to get the alignment done. Another thing i think might have added to the problem is the rear sway bar i believe. Ever since i put the exhaus system in i couldnt get the bar back in because the piping is so big. I will chek the tire pressure tomorrow and see hwat happens. Does anyone know what the tire pressure should be at?

And get it alinged QUICKLY if needed. It only took 1K miles to go through rear tires that had half tread to begin with when I was out of alignment...granted it was way out of alignment, but it is not something to wait to take care of.

yep you guys are right. Its dark but i started to get really irritated with this situation because i cant drive the car the way i usually do beacuse of this problem. So i jut got home its dark and i got a flash light out. Walk around the car and notice the rear right tire to be a lil flat. And i just sat there wondering why the hell did it get so flat. Inspected the tire and what do you know.... a freakn nail is dead center in the tire. Now i gota find some new tires errrr thanks guy's
