Help with front end

With 125k miles has a strange problem with the front end.

When the drive wheels switch from left to right and r to l, the car lunges from side to side. This only happens when I am on the gas , not when coasting. There is no noise in the front end. I also notice the steering wheel moves a few degrees when I let off the gas during acceleration.

Any Thoughts?
