I vaguely recall something about the oil filled gear diff possibly being at fault. I've got mine filled with 1M weight fluid. And ideas?
Pulling hard left after exiting a left hand turn, or hard left at all times?

If the direction of the pull depends on the corner you just exited, I would say it is the diff. I dislike the extremely heavy diff oils personally.

If it is universal, it is probably a setup/component issue.
