you have toe out problems
when you did the conversion you moved the compensation arms
further outward than the were (compensation arms are the pivots that resemble the upper control arm forward of where the trailing arm bushing sits)
you can either move them inward yourself or the best, smartest and safest thing to do is to go and get an alignment done at a reputable shop
toe out will make your rear end break free extremely easy and eat up the insides of the tires
