Most likely problem is with the steering setup. Could be a weak or badly fitting servo saver, or binding in the steering mechanism, or a bad servo. It's very important that the steering system centres precisely with minimal resistance, otherwise the car will wander in different directions after corners.

also check CVA's for binding and check hub bearings. Any drag on one side or another can make the car act funny.

Good thing you found the problem. Because a hundred different things could cause that to happen.
