As you notice it more in left turns I'd also suggest you have a 4 wheel alignment done. Even with everything in spec, the first time I went out playing on country roads I found my 855t to be a strange handler. The effect of the rear end's passive steering at turn-in took a bit of getting used to. On roads I knew and cut up very well with my Nissan I'd find my wagon's body roll and steering response, well, weird. I got used to it, just had to trust it and dive a few times and now I can't complain. I'm running Bridgestone RE730s which I'm beginning to think will ever break loose, at least with me at the wheel.

Good luck,
