Default Pulling to the left under accel?

Weird, tires are fine, rims aren't bent of off balance.. When I'm driving the car wants to pull very bad to the left under acceleration, when I let out it goes straight.. any ideas? this is VERYYYYYYYYY annoying!

I'm thinking maybe an axle isn't in all the way or something? It's really annoying though, thank god this thing isn't my daily driver, I take the interstate to work..

Was it just not in all the way, loose at the hub, or the axle needed replacement?

I have this problem too and my axle was bad on drivers side so I replaced it and now it pulls even worse to the left. My tires were all brand new and the rims were fine and everything was balanced. The nut on the end of the axle was torqued correctly and the axle was pushed completely in (wasn't halfway installed). To this day I can't figure out the issue.

See, I'm not at all sure what the hell it is, but it's very very annoying.. I'm starting to think its something with the differential bearings in the tranny, and if so, out comes this damn motor..

I'd say the cv boot is ripped. If the axle wasn't in all the way it really wouldn't pull, it either wouldn't let you put your hub on or it would pop out, not really much in-between. Just jack up the car and rotate the tires and inspect the boot very carefully, might have a little tiny hole where the axle greese has just leaked out of over time, gotten water in it etc. etc.
