when I accelerate the front end sort of sits up an pulls to the right almost like torque steer but less. It drives perfectly.
when I let off the gas the car drops left a bit but noticeable.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Thanks,

Bob

Hmmm...a ten yr old car in NJ.

You probably have issues with one or more suspension components in the front end either worn out or nearing the end of use. Check ball joints and tie rod ends for corrosion or excess wear.

If you don't have a way to get both front wheels (one at a time is OK) off the ground to check for slop, have a reputable shop with a lift handle this.
