Problem??? Maybe???

So i was driving my 1998 Ranger 4x4 3.0l 5sp back to St. Louis Sunday afternoon and when i was on the highway i noticed something. When i would let off the gas my truck would start pulling right and then when i would push back on the gas it would pull back to the left. It wasn't pulling real bad but was noticeable. I didn't know if anybody else had experienced this or if they had heard of this or what might be wrong. Thanks for any help.

alignment, the road, wind, tires, bad tie rods, bad shocks or springs, to much weight on either side of the truck. its called torque steer. check your tire pressure and ur front suspension.

I just replaced the shocks this summer i will check to back sure they are still tight. I dont have springs. It was doing it the whole time on the trip so i doubt it was just the road. How do you tell if the tie rods are bad? will they be lose? thanks
