Default Torque steer......i think?

my car sucks to drive on the freeway.around 60mph and up if I accelerate even a little to pass or just get up to speed as soon as boost comes on the car pulls pretty hard to the left. I have to correct the steering wheel to the right about an inch and hold it there.once I let off the throttle the car comes back to the right.its not to bad at 60mph,but at a buck twenty its scary as hell! I did have a front end dinger where the uni body frame got bent.but all the damage was fixed.I have a torque damper.so will solid motor and tranny mount along with h brace and traction bars and poly suspension bushings fix my problem.or do I need to go another route.

grab the tire at the top and give a tug outwards and then use your knee to press inwards on the top of the tire. im betting you have a sh1ttycrap@ss LCA bushing the above test is usually used to check wheel bearings ( listen for the click clack ) but this should work to see if the rear LCA is shot too .. you have to be fairly forceful to see if it moves unordinarily.

do I jack it up and put it on stands first or just flat on level ground.I've had the car for over three years and I just surpassed 14k miles I hope that's not my problem.I'm going to put poly urathane bushings all the way around soon anyway though.

I don't hear any abnormal noises at all.that's not to say its not the problem maybe it just hasn't gotten to that point yet.this is a really annoying habit of this car and I've had split second thoughts of selling it just because the majority of my driving is on the highway/freeway and it just might cause me to wreck one of these days.but I am in love with my srt4 and want to try everything to fix the problem before getting rid of it.
