Toe-out is your likely culprit.

It's this, or you may be experiencing what I did when I first changed back to summer tires from the winter set. It took a good 50-100 kilometers for the tires to find their shape after sitting stacked in my garage for the winter.

I was experiencing tram-lining, odd pulls, etc until they smoothed out. I also had to increase the deflated tires from 31psi to 34psi (I like the feel of 34psi cold). Car glides perfectly now.

p.s. I run -2.0 camber on all four and love it. It's where the fun begins. :cheers:

Quick update - decided to ditch the Eibach springs and throw Steeda Progressive Springs, Fixed Dampers, Camber/Caster plates and Shock Mounts. Wow what a difference (more on that after I get more testing/miles in). During the install, I found quite a bit of play in the passenger rear tire. Turns out the axle nut was really loose. Makes sense this being the culprit giving how it was pushing to the left under load. Torqued it back down to spec, finished the install and got it to a good alignment shop. Issue resolved.

Thanks for the assist in tracking this down.
