Help, Car pulls left when I let off the gas

So when I let off the gas my car jerks to the left and my wheel moves about 20% to the left if I hit boost the wheel gets straight and the car jerks also its really hard to keep the car straight under high boost, I dont think I hit anything and I took it to bell tire and they said nothing was wrong...

im not too sure but my best guess might be a collapsed brake hose. does the car brake straight or does it pull the same while stopping?

if it brakes straight i would think that it is a collapsed hose.

The hose would allow fluid to the caliper under braking pressure, but when you release the brake, the fluid doesn't have enough force to get back through the hose, causing you pads to be constantly dragging on the rotor.

Does it pull when it's in neutral? Braking? If you pull up on the ebrake does it straighten out?

up date

ok so I went for a little drive and the car drives great when I give it gas but when I let off the wheel jerks to the left when I hit the break the wheel really turns hard to the left almost 45 degrees by the time I hit a full stop I can make my car switch lanes by just letting off the gas, when I am in neutral the car pulls to the left and the car is turning left, I feel like this is all coming from my right wheel......

the only way that the right side of th car is causing the car to pull left is if the right front or rear caliper is not working at all.

Your driver side caliper is junk. It is clearly stuck closed. Unless something is severely bent and making your car pull left. But it deff sounds like your caliper is junk or your brake line is broke.
Does your brake pedal feel light and drop to the floor?
Does it smell likes brakes after driving?
How many miles on the caliper???

Mabe your alignment is really off from racing? Your alignment is set up to go strait and you just where racing in circles lol. That prob has a lot to due with it, mabe you broke some suspension upfront.
Your car sagging on driver side?
Does anything look bent or broke driver side?
Does the car dip down when braking?
