As Daz says.
You have 2 bolts that pass through the tie-bars/balljoints/bottom arms. Make sure they are tight.
If it loosens off on the left hand side the car pulls right on acceleration and left when backing off. The symptoms reverse if it is the RHS.

Jack the car up and pull at the wheel in all directions and feel for play.
9 times out of 10 it will be that. Only a £9 part i think to replace
