torque steer?

[mc200]

When at motorway speeds, if I accelerate heavily the car pulls a little to the right, and then if I come off the throttle it twitches to the left a bit.
Its not a huge amount but requires a steering adjustment so I'd like to find out if it's normal or something I can fix, does anyone have similar?

someone mentioned it could be engine/ gearbox mounts?

Cheers
Mike

That’s a common ball joint symptom. Check them out.

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look.

Having the same issue here, but I was thinking maybe from my worn out semi slicks..
I'm interested to know from you when you fix it if it's from the ball joint.
Thanks

It'll definitely be movement in a bush or joint like Peter suggests.
There's no way our cars have enough torque to do that at 70mph

Yeah deffo ball joint. Torque steer is pretty much non existent on these cars at any speed.
