Hey Avguy thanks for the reply.. i updated my original posting to be more concise.. and to describe what the driver feels, when you step on the gas it pulls slightly to the left so you have to steer right to compensate, and when you let off the gas abruptly the opposite happens it a small but detectable pull to the right. this can also be noticed when braking especially on downhill corners. it not even that huge of a 'pull' but its noticeable and i am a bit of a nitpick when it comes to handling because once this issue is resolved ill have my 'sharp' handling back.. in the meantime i can compensate for the effect. hope that helps more. ball joint already replaced in said alignment session too and if i didnt mention this is the drivers side.
