Could be a dozen different things, including tweak, binding suspension, uneven rear toe, binding bearings, tight driveshaft, binding steering, incorrectly assembled servo saver, faulty servo, uneven front steering rod lengths, incorrect front toe etc.

Take the car to one of the quick drivers at your track, they will probably spot the issue pretty quickly.

May have been contributing to it my old t2 had a few strange problems that turned out to be a seized bearing in one of the rear hubs.
