Sick Torque steer?

Alright so yea after making a mod to my whip, i noticed some serious what seems like torque steer to the right side. But really it cant be torque steer because it would of always doen it since i bought my car. When ever i punch (higher the gear harder the jerk to the right) it jerks to the right (hard). not only that but when im crusin on the high way around any right turn it jerks after either cuttin the wheel to a certain point or a little too much gas. Then sometimes l ike just cruisin goin like 30, ill turn the wheel to the right a little with out using the gas and it will feel as if its not turning as much as it should. Then i will step on the gas a little (having the wheel cut the exact same) and the whole car will jsut jerk real hard to the right. I swear its the whackest thing ever.

Yeah, Nismology's right. That's worn suspension. The car's oversteering due to the geometry deviating as the car's attitude changes with cornering g-forces.

I noticed the same thing with mine on a particularly challenging negative camber corner near my house so I'm replacing all those rubber bushings. I'll let ya know how it turns out!
