this happens like every week to somebody...


check for a nail or something in the tire or your tire pressure.

Best case- tire pressure difference in the rears.
Mid case- different tire construction in the rears.
Worse case- diff going out.

I have had to deal with 'best' and 'mid' and hope to never have to deal with 'worse'.

if your tire pressure is fine, the next step is to get an alignment.

I take it this means you have checked it recently (as in every day). As the nail wears down the leak can get worse.

What you describe sounds like what we have all experienced at one time or another and is usually tire pressure related.

However...since you have coilovers...the problem can also be that you have a perch that is not at the same height as its pair. Or, if you have adjustable shocks, then your shock settings might be uneven. Or it can be alignment...just because it tracks straight does not mean the alignment is right...you could have toe way out of adjustment (which can cause the problem you describe), or uneven camber settings.
