i honestly can't say about left and right turns. Never thought to compare.. certainly noticed on left turns as per the example sliproad given earlier.

Didnt know we had passive rear steering
from what people have said a recheck on the geo deffinately seems the first thing to check, then go from there.

Some like it, generally confident drivers, but it can catch some drivers unawares. And some (like me) just don't like it being THAT adjustable on the throttle. Hardrace (or similar) rear toe arms solve it, as they bring the toe arms more parallel with the wishbones and pretty much eliminate the passive RWS.

Can wear on some parts exaggerate this effect?
