Default Turns right under acceleration

So as the title states, when I am going in a straight line and about 40+MPH I can accelerate and the car will turn to the right a bit. It is more pronounced when I am already turning to the right and the car tries to throw me into the sidewall.

This problem is not torque steer as it started occurring after it fell off of the jack without the front right wheel/disc on. I was in the process of replacing the rotor and pads and right CV axle (all on the right side) and it rolled off of the jack and hit the concrete (slid to the right actually off of the jack).

I have visually checked the parts but I am wondering what might be causing this on our s60's or what I should be looking for.

chances are that you bent your tie rod and or your lower control arm
they are wear parts and should be replaced every 60k miles or so anyway
