Hopefully someone can help me, Does anyone know what part is likely to wear out on passenger side that controls left to right movement of the tire. Here is my problem: Sunny day normal driving no problem at all. Sunny day hard driving pulls hard left only when accelerating. Rainy days its all over the road. Please help.
 
I changed lower ball joints when putting on my new suspension setup, this has helped alot but didn't fix the problem. The car got an ailignment after putting on new tires. Now that I feel like an idiot how do you check tie rods?

Jack each side up and try to wiggle the wheel side to side like you are trying to turn it. If the tie rods have any play, it will be noticeable.
 
Thank you 92awddsm I will try that out today and will let you know if thats what was making my car a dangerous place to be.
