MY SR1600 HAS JUST PASSED MOT & HAS HAD WHEELS ALIGNED .... BUT ...
AT TIMES, DURING ACCELERATION CAR VEERS DANGEROUSLY TO THE RIGHT (OR LEFT!) ...THEN, UPON DECELERATION IT GOES THE OPPOSITE WAY!
SUSPENSION COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN CHECKED, POWER STEERING IS OK ... AS ARE TYRES .
COULD IT BE THE ENGINE MOUNTINGS?

Something has to be loose. Have you checked the tracking bar bushings?
