when im in full stop then i stepped on the gas pedal
i can feel the steering wheel turning to the right
any ideas why it does that?

your alignment is probably off, have you hit any curbs or got new tires lately?

nopes but i have new front suspensions done.
will try to have my wheel aligned and hope it will be fixed

brakes - probably front brake pads - check your brakes and linings, i'm guessing that the linings on the side that pulls may be a little thinner than the other side - maybe the pad material is contaminated or dirty, or the rotor surface is rough and needs turning/replacing.

If you're accelerating hard from a dead stop, sure it's not just torque steer? Mine does that if I floor it, and I know my brakes and alignment are good.
