Ya that’s the next step for sure. Gotta narrow it down.

As for the tire pressure being a few pounds different from each other will not cause what’s happening. I am absolutely certain of that. One tire being at 25 and another at 23 is not going to make a difference significant enough to pull to the left under power and only under power.

I don’t know how else to explain what’s happening other than it literally pulls the Jeep to the left when I re-accelerate and then straightens back out. It mostly happens at highway speeds but will occasionally do it at lower speeds.

Is your Jeep auto or standard? I have a auto with an aussie locker in the rear with no sway bars or stabilizer and it never behaves like that on the road. Standards seem to notice the lunchbox locker more.
