The chassis is flat as a tack and doesn't change whether the top deck is on or off.

As a result, the car will hook severely when turning left because when weight is on the outside front wheel, the inside left raises badly. The car pulls heavily to the right on a hard launch too. I think I've just about ruled out everything I can do.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Tim
I had the exact same problem! Every single one of the problems that you described.

My car was launching to the right also. I also seemed to have a tweak in the car. To resolve these issues I loosened the rear diff, adjusted my shocks so that they were all the exact same length (used a caliper), I then set up the car again via the droop screws and shock collars. After eyeballing everything to ensure that all wheels were coming off of the ground at the same time without changing my ride height, I set the car on a tweak station and now all is well.

BTW, you may also want to make sure that your suspension is not binding. If the pins connected to the arm are too tight you may have some issues especially if you are using a soft spring up front.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
