What could this be? ball joints?

The car when i accelerate it tends to try to kick to one side. and on ocasion when i stop or slow down it watns to turn on its own to the left. I changed the left tire rod, and i don't understand why it does that.

hard acceleration? That could be torque steer, which is pretty common in most FWD cars. A major cause is unequal length axles.

It also could be your alignment being off. If you replaced a tie rod, it would be a good time to have the car aligned.

You could also have issues with the brakes. If one side is worn worse than the other, it could cause the car to pull. Soft tires could also.
Had that exact problem. It was a lower ball joint.
got that same problem. Forgot what the mechanic called it but remember the price quote
$500 baby
:shock:
Lets say i saved that beuty for anther paycheck
Thanks guys, i'm replacing it this weekend on my own after i build my ramp :D >> I'll be posting pics.
My car tugs to the right because the guy i bought it from crashed it and lied to me look in the engine bay and look at the mode and see if it looks repaired.
