My 2001 hyundai tiburon shifts to the side when driving. I let go of the gas to shift and the wheel turns causing the car to shift. I step on the gas and the wheel turns causing the car to shift. If im going around a corner the whole car shifts to a side and is extremely unsafe for me to drive. If im just driving at a constant speed the car will shift as well. It doesnt make sense and nobody I know can help me.

Start by checking all steering components. Next, make sure the control arm bushings arein good condition.

Let me know what you find.

Both of my control arms are brand new. Replaced within the past 6 months. Along with shocks, cv axles, ball joints, tires ( which are now all messed up because of this problem) and my clutch.

I strongly recommend taking it back to where the work was done. They either didn't tighten something properly, or something they replaced was done incorrectly.
