sounds like too much 'toe out'.
Measure from right tire to left in the front and in the back. Should be close to the same number. (+/- 0.25")
If this is the problem, it's adjusted at the tie rod ends.

Your toe is probably way out. Set the toe at 0 or just a tick in. As you drive the suspension will flex causing toe out. It all depends on the type of bushings and suspension parts you have to the degree it will do this. No more toe in than 1/16 and never toe out. Set your caster even on both sides as this is more important than what the castor setting is. Castor should be between 4-1/4 and 5-1/4 degrees positive. The more castor the greater the self centering effect but harder to steer. Camber should be 1/2 a degree negative for corner carving and none for the strip. Anymore than 1/2 degree and it will wear the inside edges out on your tires.
