Default Car twist...

Good day all its been a while since I have been on the forums. I have a bit of an issue looking for some insight. I recently had my clutch and hydraulic system replaced. Ever since then while driving the car if you are hard on the accelerator you can feel what I am describing as a twist. One side of the car seems to push harder than the other. I have looked at everything under the car that I can think of all seems good. No bad tie rods the rear cradle is tight everything seems as it should. What should I be looking for next? Thanks Dan.

Perhaps because you could never give it hard acceleration before with your worn clutch? There's going to be some twist from the torque of the engine, but it shouldn't "push" the car from one side. It's not losing traction or flashing the traction light, is it? Are the tires good?

Tires are good plenty of tread. No traction control lights and no wheel spin....

My Z06 was getting horrible wheel hop at the drag strip. When we pulled the engine for a different problem, this is what we found. I replaced them with Hinson urethane along with the transmission mount. Between those and DRM Bilstein shocks, no more wheel hop.
