I've had 2-3 instances where something similar has happened with my fk04.
Check the bearings in the hubs. One can be siezed or extrememly bad compared to the others and cause this to happen.
Check the camber links of the car and make sure there is no binding.
I'm not sure the effect, but I have had a bad thrust bearing cause me problems. The really small balls that are caged in a washer inside one of the outdrives was busted. According to my manual it is part # 309072

Guess I will replace the bearings in the hubs. I already changed the thrust bearings in the diffs so I doubt it is that.
Im actually waiting for the TA-05R to come out , if priced right I may get that as a primary or secondary ride.

check the hinge pins, shock shafts, shocks, front axles, castor blocks, and steering knuckles.
sometimes when my car is acting wierd and i can't find the problem, i do a complete teardown. usually just taking it apart will either reveal the problem or fix whatever was loose.

take your car apart and rebuild it according to the manual 
and no calipers , use a hudy setup stand

Thanks all. Look like I'll do a complete teardown.

Check your steering endpoint adjustment. You probably have more steering left than to the right. Nobody ever checks that.

Ended up being a bearing. In particular, the rear right on the outside of the hub.
Replaced the four in the back and am ordering a new complete set just to have things all even.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
