HELPPPP!!! 94 CIVIC PULLS HARD TO LEFR WHEN I RELEASE THROTTLE!!
At first i thought my passengers caliper was sticking and caused the pull but i replaced it and no change it pulls hard when i release my foot off the gas!! It does it weather am going slow or fast!! Its a scary *** drive knowing the car can make me end up in the opposite lane if am not carefull!!! Car has brand new tires that were balanced when mounted. A lil info on the car it has a b20v swap new axles integra brakes all around has stiff mounts car fax shows no collisions and frsme is straight!! Plz any info will helpp!
yeah reason it's not doing it as bud under acceleration is because weight transfers to the back, it's not as obvious..
I would stop driving it and take it to a shop ASAP to check front end parts and do an alignment

If it was an alignment that it needed wouldnt it do it all all times? It only does it when i let my foot off the gas...car drives straight when im gassing it.
re-read my post... weight transfers to the back (not steering wheels) is not as noticeable..
im 100% sure of 3 possibilities: you need an alignment, some suspension parts are falling out/dry rotted, and or suspension/frame parts are rotted...

Usually it's bushings that go first and need to be replaced. Easy way to find out is to jack the car up and look under it to see what they look like.

Nehhhhhh.....not usually. Tie rods and ball joints seem to go first as long as the bushings were clocked.
A bad tie rod would cause this. It would toe in/out on accel and decel.
Although bushings are a good guess.
We shouldn't assume that OP checked his tire pressure or the tire itself, however

Tire pressure is a big overlook. Good call.

Probably not the cause of your issue. I doubt the tire shop put the tires up to 51 PSI They most likely inflated them to 32PSi and you assumed 51PSi.
Unless there's a bunch of morons working there. Even then though....i highly doubt the 51 PSi thing. tire pressures are day 1 stuff.
Unless you explicitly insisted on 51 Psi? Or by "tire shop" did you mean you did it yourself at a gas station?

Had very same problem with my old 93 sedan. Ended up being lower control arm bushings. Bought the entire Energy kit for $150. Problem solved...
Try this.
On a straight road, with no traffic. (LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL).
= FULL THROTTLE / BRAKE CHECK / FULL THROTTLE / BRAKE CHECK
If the car is turning to one side upon full throttle, and turning the other way when u brake. Which i ever side it turns to your throttle it, is the side that needs a new FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING.
Speaking from experience, had this problem for 2 weeks. It was killing me.
After you fix it, you need a wheel alignment. If you are on a hoist, be sure to check the arms to see if anything else was damaged, some stuff you can't feel until it gets worse.
Do it once, do it right.
If the arm is bent, changing the rubber won't help, it'll die again.
Also, check the bolts, see if they bent. Get it out and replace them.
Worst case scenario, you screwed your steering rack. Which is about as expensive as it'll get.
