Or it could simply be "torque steering". One of the front axles is worn and you may need to replace both. Or it could simply be "torque steering".

There would have to be a lot of movement in the bearing for it to pull under acceleration. As for the struts, unless there are loose bolts holding it to the body or suspension...they only effect vertical movement of the suspension arms. It could be tie rod ends, or bad bushings in the suspension arms. This should have been found during a front end alignment, take it to someone else for a second opinion.
