First thing is make sure your shocks are all set to equal preload, droop and springs are set evenly. If possible put it on a set of corner scales and try to get the rear weights even. Make sure the chassis isn't twisted. Also make sure you have the left/right balance as close to equal as possible.

Other options:
- check rear wheel bearings and diff output bearings for any tight / seized parts
- make sure the rear toe is equal left/right
- make sure the wheelbase is equal left/right

Hope this helps.
