It might be loose. That much of a split could cause it to want to turn left too much. Did you have the same air pressures in the tires?  As for the weights being different, maybe the left rear should have been a negative number?  :P

My opinion? too much weight on the RR, I run a lighter machine but I put as much left side weight on them as possible. Just what works for me.

I agree with Huffy!  Remove one shim from left front. But hears the disclaimer.  Every machine is different and every persons driving stile is different. You will have to put some time on it  and decide for your self.

Being 6'3" I know what ya mean. See how it works for ya. Also put your air pressure higher on the fl and rr. Anyone that has run with me knows I kept the LR dang near flat.
