Steering Problem
Normally I have a vague idea of what the problem is but this one, not a clue.
On the way to work this morning, every time I let off the throttle the car would steer to the right. Not really hard but enopugh to notice and wonder about. Any thoughts??
'93, LT-1, auto trans, cut air lid, PCM chip, cat back Magna Flow system, and MSD ignition.
Thanks for your time.

Check the right rear caliper. Maybe it gets a little stuck in the pin . It should slide with ease.
So when you are on the throttle the brake can break a little bit loose, when you let off if friction is high you will steer. A little bit like a Tank.
Also check for low or high tire pressure.
Good luck

Thanks for the inputs, tire pressure is same all around, and I will pull the right rear tire and take a good look at the brake caliper. After that I think I will get a professional to take a look.
Thanks for the ideas,
Pete

Check the wear on your rear tires. I had this problem and after a few days the tire ate itself up. It eventually happend to both rear tires at different times. I put new tires on and everything is perfect. I think it was because the tires where old and the rubber had stiffen.

You're not the first owner to make that observation and, in fact, my 96 does the same thing. It is very slight and you notice it more, or less, on different surfaces.
I think it might be bushings. I've changed the rear stabilizer bushings which seemed to help. Next up are the batwing bushings with a rearend swap. Then we'll take it from there. I don't want to just change them all at once because I want to determine the effect of each change.
