Question 92 3.8 SE pulling right under accelleration, then left if I lift off..

I have a condition that began to happen recently on my 92 Pontiac Transport 3.8 SE. If you leave from a dead stop (traffic light or whatnot) and you accellerate hard to moderately hard the van will pull to the right. More than the normal torque steer of a front drive vehicle. Also, if you suddenly lift off the accellerator, the van will veer sharply left. I know this is some sort of front suspension issue, but not sure what.

I did just replace the left outer tie rod which was obviously past due. (Car was doing the veering before and still does after.) I read in another thread about the ball joints. I'm going to have a look at those next. There is still a slight clunk if you turn the steering wheel back and forth rapidly. Any hints or suggestions greatly appreciated.
