Anytime my foot is on the gas the front of the car tends to sway left or right depending on which direction the steering wheel is positioned. And the funny thing is that it only does this when the gas pedal is applied. If your going straight on the highway or your local street, the front of the car will sway left or right. You can really feel it! But remember this problem only happens when the gas pedal is applied.

Exactly how much gas are talking? Just trying to get a feel for your problem. Front wheel cars will tend to pull one direction with a full throttle dump do to the torque and rapid acceleration. I am sure you know the feeling. I would have the front end aligned and see if it helps. The gas when applies may be taking enough just enough weight off the front end to make it road wonder? Also check for loose wheel bearings and ball joints. Let me know what you find out. Curt
