Default 96 Camry V6 pulls to right momentarily

I have a 1996 Camry V6. It drives great like new except one thing. When I accelerate it to about 30 MPH, it pulls to right momentarily (It feels like one sudden gust wind blowing from driver side; or like one 18 semi-truck passing by in the opposite direction). The Camry runs straight after that. I do notice that it happens in the morning when the car just started; many times it occurs when the car is shifting gears.

Slow or rapid acceleration? If rapid it may be torque steer.

I usually drive my car carefully. So I would say it is normal acceleration, not too fast, not to slow. I also notice it happens when the car switches gear itself, or when I release my foot on gas pedal.

oh, and make sure a tire is not low on pressure.
