veering when shifting

93 max SE auto tranny. Steering feels loose and dodgy under heavy acceleration, and just after transmission shifts into third car veers quickly and noticeably to the right. I do know that I need an alignment due to bad tire wear and I have waited to do it until I replace both front axles, which I have just completed. Veering problem existed before I replaced the axles. Suggestions? Could this be motor mounts or is there another part of the suspension or steering system I should be looking at? Thanks

"My customer is complaining about “bump steer”. Will an alignment fix it?
This condition is the result of a change in front wheel steering angle created by the upward and downward ("bump") movement of a vehicle's front suspension. Both toe-in and toe-out can change during bump steer. It is also a common result of a tie rod (end) not following the same arc path of the wheel to which it is connected. Alignment will not correct this. The most common cause is bent parts on a street use vehicle."

If I remember right, one Nissan Service bulletin speaks of engine rev to steering servo -problem.

If you suspect this kinda problem, one place could be combing the TSB's
