You may have more power going to the right wheel. Because it's at more of an angle than the left wheel in a right hand turn, it spins with less traction. In a left hand turn, the right wheel has better traction because it's not at so much of an angle. The only way to really send equal power to both wheels is a Quaife (I think that's how it's spelled) Differential which costs $,$$$.

Quaife doesn't give equal power to both wheels. It only gives 25% power to the slipping wheel to equal to power transfer in the turns. To get equal power, you need a Posi-Trac Differential.

i think it just has something to do with front engine fwd cars. they always have torque steer in relation to the wa y the engine rotates, maybe this is related to your delima?

Or maybe your left is better than your right.
