Default Car pulls to the left when accelerating

What would be causing my car to pull to the left when accelerating . Is it a broken mount somewhere . By the way it is a 93 civic DX with B15D7

Check tire pressure. Check both tires for broken belts.

That'd be a D15B7 there, chief .

All of the above are possible problems. Checking your tire pressure is easy, I'd do that first, although I highly doubt that's the problem.

It COULD be a worn bushing, but if it's pulling hard to one side but isn't grinding when you take a curve in the opposite direction it's most likely not that (though still possible).

A 4 wheel alignment and tire balance is what I'd get done first, if you're still having problems after that it's time to put it up on a lift and look at the suspension - it could be a number of things.

EDIT:
If you do do a 4 wheel alignment and a tire balance and everything is OK then I would first look at the CV joints and work my way around in there.
