Pulling to the left under hard acceleration

Recently the car seems to have developed an urge to steer left under hard acceleration, changing from 1st to 2nd. I thought it may have been torque steer related, but, surely the ATTS would negate this!
Brakes and tyres are OK on the front
Any thoughts?

tyre pressures, tracking, faulty atts, wheel bearings?

Tyre pressures, haven't checked yet
Tracking was top my list. It wasn't done when the front tyres where replaced, but the tyres were replaced a couple months before this became apparent.
Faulty ATTS? No warnings as yet
Bearings? All quiet on the western front, so I think the 1st and 2nd items will be the likely candidates

Eeep! More blooming spending on the Japanese money pit
Let's hope it's just the tyre pressure

Tyres/Four-wheel alignment is your first check. Probably a deflated or worn tyre most likely.
Failing that, you have a Random Torque Transfer System and that sounds expensive.
