Default B16aY1 passenger side wheel locking up. possible axle issue

EF 89 civic hatch B16aY1 passenger side wheel seems to lock up when slowly accelerating or turning right. when accelerating the wheel pulls left and when decelerating it pulls right. ive search and found that sometimes the axle is the wrong length. so im searching for a clearer answer.

What axles are you using for your swap? Also what half shaft?

Torque steer is normal if halfshafts are of a diff length. I know on my DSM they are diff length, but the long one had a carrier bearing which bolted to the block to keep it as straight as possible and also to cut its length in half to help the steering issue.

Sticking wheel could also be stuck sliding pins also. check both and lube if needed. Could be that simple you never know

Have you checked to see if it were a brake issue like a calliper locking up or something?
