Steering jolts

[Ktmnick572]

Hi all. I just picked up a 2013 ford explorer 2.0 2 wheel drive. When I accelerate I get a small amount of torque steer to the right. It when it lets off power to shift or when I let off the gas I yanks the the left real quick for a second then goes back to normal. It drives straight down the road when it's not under load or coasting. No unusual chunks or rattles while driving. No play in stearing wheel everything seems tight it's just when shifting or let off throttle while under a load.

Welcome to the Forum.
FYI, the 5th gen has Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS). Not sure if you were aware of that. I don't know if there may be an issue with that system.
