upon accelaration my my 3.8 automatic strays to the left while my steering wheel stays straight. I recently had both tie rod ends replaced,hub assembily, lower left ball joint and top motor mount.seems to do this when starting to accelerate and also when driving when automatic transmission is shifting while accelerating. I seem to loose at least 30% percent of steering when this happenes while pulling to left

There has to be something loose or worn. Check control arm bushings and all steering components again. Keep in mind, some torque steering is normal with a front wheel drive.
