Pulls to right under hard acceleration

I just purhchased a 2006 95 with 29K miles. Love the car with one exception. It tracks straight as an arrow under normal driving but if I accelerate hard there is a quite noticable pull to the right, enough to be a potential hazard if somebody not aware of the situation stomps the gas with a fingertip grip on the wheel. It's enough under moderate acceleration for the car to slowly go from the passing lane to the travel lane, overcoming the centerline rise found on most roads for proper drainage. Under hard breaking there is a very slight pull in the opposite direction.
A Carfax report reports the car was in a minor accident at 5K miles (that would suck!) but was described as minor damage to right rear quarter with no follow up service for steering/suspension issues in the last 2+ years. Any thoughts? Bad/bent torque rod perhaps?
