I just had a new control arm put on my passenger front tire, an alignment and put new tires on it. Now when I take my foot off the gas after a second the car jerks to the right, then sometimes when I accelerate it jerks to the right. Do you have any idea what is causing this

Hi there,

I would be straight back to the repairer and getting them to re check there work and the alignment, your problem sounds as if it is in the work carried out.

I would take it back to the shop that did the work.

Sounds like they didnt properly install something or biffed the alignment, sounds like a case of "memory steer"
