okay well first of all I had the rim/tire fall off the car doing about 70ish..... I slammed to the ground and messed up my disc, hub, studs, caliper, fender (these are the parts that I replaced) Im sure I messed the tie rod because I guess there is a cap or something under it, well that part has been leaking grease really bad. I have still yet to replace that part. well I got new tires/rims and had an aliment done. now what happens is when I accelerate at least 1/4 throttle, the steering wheel will jerk to left (while car remains going straight) and when I let off the gas it will jerk back to center (car still going straight) when it is to the left it has a lot of resistance to go back to the right w/o letting off the gas. I replaced the upper and lower mounts with the RK sport ones and that helped a bit. however it still does this. Its very scary to drive. it feels like im going to swerve into the right lane when the steering wheel settles back. whats weird is that the aliment is perfect when not under load, then when I get on it, it pulls to the left and then when it goes back to center the aliment is back to perfect again.

Replace that tie-rod end now, and get it re-aligned before something VERY bad happens, then get back on here and let us know whats up.

Could be that tie rod, I'd swap the inner and outer just to be safe.

I've seen vehicles with loose tie rod ends steer like that when you hit a bump, the wheel will go crooked because the looseness in tie rod end throws out the toe.

Could also be a CV shaft issue...

okay so after inspecting all the components in the front I found that the A arm bolt that connects to the spindle was just dangling there, when I removed the cotter pin and nut the bolt fell through, it was a welded bolt. oh well, at least its all fixed and good to go!!!!
