There are many thins that could cause this. First off, if you drive on a flat
surface and take your hands off, does it go straight? Are you sure it is not
dog tracking at all. Even a 1/2 inch difference could cause a difference from
side to side. Most likely, you have a diagonal weight offset. I don't know of
a stock legal way to trim it other than swapping springs, but to test this
you need to weigh each corner, 4 wheel scales are best. If it pushes one way
and gets loose the other, this is a good place to start also. If you have a
pull, then it could be caster related. This still can't easilly be seen like
a camber difference.
This is a short list, I hope it helps. If you have any more questions, feel
free to ask.
