Took home my first win with it.
While the arms could be a problem...I would look at other things as well. One of the most over looked cause for pulling left is the rear axle. If the left side hub is too tight the bearings the axle rides in will cause the diff to be slower on that side than the other since both axle bearings are on the left side of the diff. You need to make sure there is some slight play in the rear axle and that the bearings spin freely.
