      Alignment is off and changing directions because of bump steer at one end or the other. You could also have a bad shock that is allowing higher travel under pitching doing the same thing.

      I would also jack the car up one wheel at a time and see if there is any play in the wheel. Perhaps a bad tie rod end joint on either the front or rear? You don’t mention how many miles are on the car. I wouldn’t suspect this if there are only 10,000 miles on it.

      There are 29,000 miles on the car

      Hello, my 2000 Dodge Viper RT/10 does the same thing. I bought it with 45k miles on it. It now has 51k miles. What did you do to correct the problem . Thanks

      Tire pressure even? Sure sign under throttle if it pulls. Sounds obvious, but i would make sure they are all in check.

      Tire pressure, alignment, then wheel bearing next. One of those three items is creating “drag” .

      I am experiencing the car slightly pulling to the left when I lift off the accelerator from a steady freeway cruising speed and then pulls back to the right when re applying the throttle. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
