Default It pulls!

I have been out in my wrx sti 04 today and had a bit of a play. I can't believe how much it pulls to the right when i accelerate. I thought it was torque steer. Does that sound about right?
I have had other quick cars, but they havnt pulled like this?

Get your geometry checked..

It might torque steer, but it shouldn't be pulling to the right.

Anywhere with a 4 wheel alignment machine can check it for you.

How good the 'after adjustment' alignment actually is depends entirely on how good the person operating the machine and making the adjustments is.

For adjustment, it's best to take it to a specialist who can align it spot on for you - not just to any point within the (wide) factory tolerences.
