Car moves right when accelerating
Well i hope that i posted this in the right section. So here we go
So a month ago i noticed something was off when i was driving,so i took it in for a alignment. Finding out the car needed one. So it has been raining off and on and i dont really DD my 350z that much any more. So this past week i was noticing that when i would accelerate at any rpm above 2k that the car would jerk to the right hard and would need to use my steering wheel to keep it in line.
So i need help in trouble shooting the origin of the problem. i am going to take the car back to the shop for them to double check there alignment but what also could cause this problem? the car tires are 4 1/2 years old and maybe got a year left on them. the true coils over have now 25k miles on them since i installed them and the Car(2007) mileage is 51,000ish.
any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry but i cant remember how to edit my post. anyways, i just got back from the alignment place and the mechanic test drove the car after he adjusted things. He felt the exact same thing as i did. I told him that i think it could be the VLSD going out. and he agreed that it could be that but cant say for a 100%.

when i was at work today i noticed that some dark dry oil was on the pumpkin(going from the top to the bottom,on the diff cover). I remember when searching someone said something about it,that some seal broke and that what it is. Correct me if im wrong. Also, it seems like they cant get my car in full correct alignment. The mech. said that the camber arms(rear) are all the way out and toe.I will add that the car drives perfectly straight and doesn't go left or right when hands off the steering wheel.
P.s i have aftermarket camber arms. back in 2012 when i got new tires and alignment that everything was in correct spec.

SO finally got my car to the Mechanic(other reason why it went so soon). Apparently like one of the people in the post said there was something loose in the suspension.
