Steering wandering under acceleration

Hey everyone,
I had my mechanic replace my lower control arms as the bushings were shot. He also did an alignment once they were installed. I ordered the moog ones from Rock Auto. Now the car seems to be pulling to the left under acceleration and when I let off the gas it pulls to the right, but if I’m just coasting, it goes straight. I had another shop do an alignment again, but the same thing still happens. I have a loud squeak sound coming from my passenger side when going over bumps but it doesn’t happen all the time. The lower control arms are were replaced in hopes of resolving that issue but it still persists. I’m going to order the kyb excel g struts. I have the eibach lowering springs so I’ll order the kyb top hats too.

Have you done any of the basic diagnostics?

Any play in the wheels side to side or top down?

Any odd wearout on the tires?

A parts cannon approach tends to be quite expensive...

Never had torque steer bad enough to cause a car to pull to one direction. What does the 4wd readout say when accelerating, are any wheels allegedly pulling more weight than the others?
