Next time you run the car in practice and it starts to swing out - try bringing the car in and swapping the wheels side to side.
This way you could eliminate the wheel/tire combo from your list of possible causes.
Any suggestions? I'm about ready to pull my hair out.

Here's what's happening:
The car is really planted during right hand turns, but the rear end swings around when turning left, but only about 2 minutes into the race (and keeps swinging out for the remainder of the race during left turns.) Here's what I've checked so far:
Droop is equal right to left in the front and rear.
No bent hinge pins.
No bent shock shafts.
Car is not tweaked according to John Watt's laser tweak board.
Tires are not coming unglued on one side or the other.
Toe and camber are equal right to left.
The only other thing I can figure is that the tires (I'm currently running Take Off 22's) are heating up and getting greasy about 2 minutes into the race. But, if this were the case, why would it only be while turning left? I'm going to switch to 27's this weekend, but I'm not anticipating that this is going to fix the problem.

So the Factory kit uses the same front and rear axles? All 22mm?
So these should fit? Thanks.

Short Arm Question
I'm installing my short arms onto my Evo2 and something seems odd. On the front suspension, the hinge pins just hang loose? The short arms don't have a set screw that holds the hinge pin like the long arms do, is there any problem with them moving around in a frontal colision? Sure seems like it won't take alot for the hinge pin to slide foward and out of the rear holder causing some very bad handling....

Keep the collet towards the front pivot point and it will stop the pin coming out.
