This has gotten much worse over the last week or so. During accelleration the car puls slightly to the right. As soon as I let off the throttle the car dives to the left. Not like a braking dive but just yanks the front end to the left. I have always noticed this a very little bit but it's getting worse by the day.

Any ideas. The dealer says that FWD cars do that. It's normal. I don't think so.

Mine does the same thing also. I really noticed it when I first got the car but I've learned to get used to it and compensate for it.

This may be off but have you guys checked your engine mounts?

Well mine always did it from day one 72k. But it was ever so slight and only when I really got on it. Now at 215k especially over the last week it's really bad. Any throttle increase pulls to the right which you don't really notice until you let off and the car jerks to the left.

Engine mounts? I wouldn't think that would cause that in a FWD but I'll look into it.

I changed the trans fluid in my 89 Seville and after warming it up pulled out into the road and did a WOT takeoff and laid some rubber and no torque pull what so ever.
I have not had that problem at all yet. 138 k miles.
