Alignment by a third party that knows what they are doing? Has it been in an accident ever?(id say 4 out of 5 of all cars have)

Emergency brake draging?

Does it get worse or better if you rip the e brake? (obviously as safely as possible do this) See if it straightens up or gets worse.

If you hit the brakes does it go away.

Maybe throw a bunch of heavy stuff in truck and see what happens.

Tire pressure?

Wind can have an effect that feels like that. If thats the case maybe lower it a bit and get beefier sway bars. Shorter sidewalls and wider tires. Maybe just get rain performance tires for the back.


The most likely thing is simply a poor alignment.

Good luck,
rob

The problem could be do to a multitude of reasons. You really need to get the car on a lift and conduct a process of elimination to determine the cause.
