Default easier to oversteer when making right turns

Since day one, its felt like the rear of the car comes out easier on right turns than it does on left turns. As a matter of fact, its hard to bring the tail out on left turns, but on right turns the tail gets happy easily.

I am wondering if something is wrong with my differential, becase I know with our differential, the outer wheel rotates more than the inner wheel. I'm guessing this diff is not working properly and my outer wheel isn't rotating like it should on left turns.

Anybody else notice this? how can I test my diff...the manual says to spin the wheel and see if the other wheel rotates in the opposite direction, but would this test the problem that I am having?

Thanks.

Could just be due to the driver's side weighing more than the passenger side...

Don't know about the diff issue, but the problem could be that you have toe-out on the left-side.
