I got a Mazda MX-6 that is pulling to the left under (even light) acceleration and to the right when engine braking on the freeway. To describe this better what happens is say I am on the freeway going at 60mpg. If I press lightly on the gas to speed up to 65mpg, the wheel would jerk to the left and I would have to correct in order not to go into the other lane. As soon as I lay off the gas the car jerks to the right.

I checked the ball joints, the a-arm bushings, and the staring rods. Everything is in a tip-top shape for a 1994 car. I can not figure out what else this could be. Any ideas?

Worn out tires can cause this problem. If they are worn on the edges they will pull like this. Also have your cv joints (axle shafts) checked.

have a look at the engine and gearbox mounts sounds like they might be worn,loose or broken.has this always happened or if youve just got the car check for chasis damage
