Ottawa,
I'm just finishing up getting my '91 A/T on the road, and took it out for few quick rips up and down the road to iron some problems out. However, I'm having a troubling issue where my car will jerk to the right (passenger) side as soon as I let off the gas. It usually only happens when I'm accelerating at a decent rate, and then let off. I've also noticed it at WOT, during the quick break in acceleration while the transmission shifts.

It's not just a slight pull either, the car physically wants to go to the right, and I would almost describe it as a violent jerk. It's definitely unsafe to be driven on the road until I figure this out. The passenger side ball joint in the front is brand new, and everything should be tight. Any ideas of what to look at and all help is appreciated!
