Re: Back end steering under light acceleration

It settles and the steering corrects itself. The steering wheel never moves during all of this. But if I want to stay on the road I have to steer left by a pinky width or so. It had an alignment recently which didn't change the issue at all, and I get under it weekly, but I just don't know what could be causing this. If I had to guess, one of the tires is accelerating and the other isn't? Or, one of the tires is cocking sideways, despite everything being tight? And why does it lift?
How long have you had the car and did it always do this?
Was the car in an accident sometime?
How many miles on it?
Before the safety checks came into being here you sometimes would see a car going down the street crabwise, if those cars went through a puddle there would be four tire tracks coming out of the puddle.
