When accelerating there is less load on the front, more on the rear. Use the break pedal to fix the steering

Check for worn track rods at the steering rack and track rod ends. If there is excessive play in them look at getting that fixed first. Don't forget to check your suspension arms for play in their bushings too although that would probably cause the steering to wander and feel very vague as opposed to going light.

What's your alignment setup like ?
