I have a 2000 I30 with 200000 miles on it. Runs good but there is a mechanical issue with the front passenger side wheel. Under acceleration it drives straight but the second you lay off the throttle above about 40 the wheel shifts to the right. So it goes from going straight to I have to turn the wheels a small amount to the left. It is a sudden shift like a bearing is out or something is loose. Feels dangerous but hasn't been getting worse. Any ideas or sinilar problems/fixes
 
have you checked tire pressure all around? bad pressure, wheel balance, frozen caliper to name a few can also cause pulling to one side
 
Here's what you can do for a good test as to what is wrong. Jack the car up on the passenger side. Place your hands at the 3'oclock and 9'oclock positions of the tire, and slowly shake the wheel side to side. If there is play in the wheel, then this should tell you if the tie rod ends are bad. If you place your hands at the 12 and 6'oclock positions and do the same procedure, and there is play in the wheel, then you should tell you that the ball joint is bad, and even the wheel bearing.
