steering issue

I was on the free way and i had dropped a gear to speed up as i did that my car quickly turned to the right by itself, even when i slowed down and i tried to switch lanes to the right as well my car would over steer, what can my problem be ?

Check your tension rods if they've never been replaced before. Mine does that pretty much anytime the weight of the car shifts forward. Could be a lot of other things though, that's just the first thing I would check.

yeah that's actually the first thing i checked but the bushings seem fine they aren't damaged, could it be a problem with the power steering?

The steering rack and pinion is the next place I would look, yeah.
