accelerating problem with front end suspension!

Sway bars and strut bars might band aid the problem depending on what it is but your car still shouldn't do that. What suspension do you have and what kind of shape is it in?
 
So every time i take off and switch gears the front end feels like it's gonna roll under neath the car. Is that normal? If so how can i fix that problem? Sway bars and strut bars?

How is your alignment? Have you checked connections between everything such as sway bars, lower control arms and etc??

^^^ I bet you're sniffing awfully close to the problem.
 
Well my driver side upper ball joint was really bad when i bought the car i replaced it. So could it be bad ball joints and tire rod ends?

But other than that i have not checked my connections on everything. I will do that when i get the chance today. And let you guys know if anything is loose. The front end is lowered. With what struts and springs i have no idea.
 
Jack it up and check everything out. It is kind of hard for anyone to tell you what is wrong with your suspension without being there to see it.
 
It's been awhile but i finally got around to checking out the car and discovered it was a really really bad tie rod end the outer on the driver side. The joint itself moved every direction possible even in and out. Replaced it and it fixed the problem.
