I'd be checking the alignment, its natural to pull 1 way or the other....the reason it seems to pull back when letting off the gas could be as simple as the power letting off, or it could be that the alignment is off in both directions

I would like to see how your tires are wearing. You might be out of alignment a bit [toe issue] ball joints would be the likely cause. Worn front shocks would do this too
