Torque Steer/Radius Arm Issue?
I have a 2005 F250 Crew Cab 4x4. I have a very unusual issue related to what seems like torque steer. When driving down the road the truck tracks straight. If I step on the accelerator for a hard accelleration, the truck will pull left. When I let off the accelerator, the truck will pull right. This is not a subtle pull from the crown of the road or anything similar. The pull is not strong (as I can easily compensate while driving) but will significantly change direction of the vehicle (will almost change lanes over a short length of road).
The front end has been completely rebuilt (ball joints, tire rod ends, drag link, etc...). The only thing I can attribute to this would be the bushings on the radius arms or the bushing on the rear leaf springs.
Has anyone had a similar issue and how did you resolve it.

just for giggles, check your rear axle and make sure the leafs are tight and the springs perches aren't damaged
it's unlikely, but a loose/broken perch could let the axle shift on accell/decell. which would make the truck track left/right
also, double check the panhard/drag link. one of the end fittings could be loose. just a little bit of slop and you'll get that effect
