Hi, I have problem where if I accelerate the car pulls to the right. Out on the road it seems to float left or right. Every so often it just to the left. The tires are good/I even rotated the tires and still the same. In the driveway I turned the tires left & right with no problem. I don’t know what the problem is. If someone knows, I would appreciate some ideas. Thanks

Have a front-end shop check your steering and suspension for worn parts before you kill yourself or someone else…

If you would like a more detailed answer, please provide more information, like model year and odometer mileage…

You must have a front suspension inspection done.

The tie rods may be worn, ball joints worn/dried out or steering rack may be loose.

After that you will likely need an alignment.
