you will find that the car tends to follow the camber and any defect in the road surface much more readily, especially when negotiating a bend !!

it will either be one of the above, or a combination of both that you are experiencing.

do you feel it under acceleration ? or just under normal driving ?

Yeah if it's under hard acceleration and no LSD then it's torque steer. If it's under braking or normal driving then it's tramlining.
