Subaru Stars Steering wheel wants to turn on Accel

Imagine- cruising, hands off the wheel, accelerate and the steering wheel wants to turn left.
This will happen any time accelerating, through every gear. Once at cruise or neutral, drives straight.

I've checked as many posts as I could about this and most of them are left hanging with no resolution or a miscommunication of exactly what the issue is.

From what I understand this is NOT torque steer. Torque steer is from the front wheels only and would be the opposite affect.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

06WRX Wagon w/ 07STI SEDAN 6speed +full suspension swap (issue only began after swap)
*Known issues*
Positive front camber due to incorrect control arms, sway bar and links. (next on to-do list as well as all new bushings all around.)
Vehicle has been aligned several times (I'll be looking for the most recent printout tomorrow)
0.9+ camber front
1.1- camber rear

I've checked springs being seated correctly, blown-out bushings and struts and all seem fine.
I do have a MAPDCCD and it seems to function as intended, rear does feel locked when I lock it, etc.

Tomorrow I'll be checking that rear axles are fully inserted.
I won't be able to see the results as I am currently undergoing shortblock swap &upgrades (twas' time, 200k on original motor and internals).


I was wondering if there is anything else I can check while I have down time waiting on parts???

First of all, why are you driving w/your hands off the wheel? Your hands control the steering wheel and the direction the car moves.

Why do you NOT think it's torque steer?
While typically torque steer will pull the the right, due to your messed up front end, most likely why the car goes left instead of right.

You have to fix all the other issues first.

What front strut and control arm are you running?

You're describing torque steer....

Fix the known issues before asking anything.

Your correct - not torque steer - torque steer is the result of uneven axle lengths - Subaru is symmetrical all whee drive meaning axles are equal length.
Odds are you have a brake caliper or pad dragging. I have seen bad wheel bearings or bad axles cause it, but the majority is a stuck caliper or brake pads seized up in the bracket/caliper.
