Welcome to having to deal with "torque steer" This is normal on any front wheel drive car that has some power.

You could check for slack in the steering components.
Jack the front end up and try to move the wheel around in such away as to feel for play in the ball joints etc.

Its torque steer. Chances are thats all it is. If the road your on sucks i.e its old and its trenching thats gonna cause it too as well. As far as going fast i've had mine up to 125mph (in mexico) lol and it was solid to the ground, don't know what your problem is there.
