Problem in the rear, not sure what though

Ok, here it is. Stock GSL-SE. In the rain, in a standstill stop to moving, if going right, nothign happens, grips fine. But going left, it tends to slide out rather easy, even with accelerating slowy. The tires grip fine, and the Shocks seem fine, and the springs are not broke(both via a visable check over). Now anyone know the reason this might be? I am also assuming these are still original stock parts.

Rotational Torqe, Guess it would be left hand rule on that one, Take your left hand palm down, Curle your fingers in the direction the wheel is turning, Now your thumb points to the way the torque is directed. So the Car breaks to the right. I would guess that all cars do it this way. Every get stuck and notice that it will want to go left when you are in reverse and right when in drive? Also a The right motor mount will break when the stress is from a forward motion, and the left will break when in a reverse motion. Dad still wants to know how I broke the left one on our old F150.

I have never had a problem with it I have yet to notice of it trying to throw itself around going foward, reverse, braking while going straight. And when a look under by the shocks, springs, brakes, ect. nothing seemed to be broken. I am just wondering, if the shock is a bit weaker on one side, would that affect it enuf to make it do so?
