Steering issues

Hi can anybody help.
I have noticed a strange steering issue when turning right
If i steer right while driving but not accelerating everything feels normal but as soon as i press the go faster pedal it immediately steers more without any further movement from the steering wheel. It is quite a lot of change as if one of the wheels have all of a sudden changed angle. It doesn’t do it when turning left.
All 4 tyres were changed together and have not been rotated.
My transfer box is shot so its only operating as a 2wd for now.
Is this anything anyone has noticed before or have i got an issue.
The car has just been MOT’d so i presume that all ball joints and bushes are ok.

Sounds like "Torque Steer" which affects front wheel drive cars (which in effect yours now is)
Here's one of many webpages that explain how and why etc

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

It turned out to be a warn bush at the front of the near side control arm. New arm and tracking and now all good. MY06 FL1 TD4 2 door red (gone)
