Default car pulls right when accelerating

Just recently started, it pulls slightly to the right only when I accelerate. The steering wheel is straight and it brakes in a straight line and does not pull when i keep the throttle at a steady position. Any ideas?

maybe you dont notice it as much when ur driving at a steady rpm, but when you accelerate you are going to notice a pull much more. Try to get it aligned.

could be ur alignment or u might also want to check your tire pressure......sometimes with severel PSI differance on the twofront tires it will tend to pull to the side with a lower PSI. IMO

I was thinking alignment also but I know that it never did this before.

Cars can loose their alignment.

Passenger axle (cv joint)

Had this happen 3 times, to diff. sides, usually when replaced with an autozone axle after a couple months.

Switched to raxles and haven't had the problem since.

Possibly a defective tire, I've seen it on several occasions. Especially since they were just installed, and the problem just started. Simple test, try swapping the front wheels from side to side, and see if the pull switches directions.
