The steering linkage in this car does not have perfect bilateral symmetry - the Pitman arm on the left is much more rigidly attached than the idler on the right. This could accentuate flex in the idler arm bushes, if your wheel offset is higher than normal, causing toe changes on the right under load. Or, the bushings could be worn, which would be typical at this point if they haven't yet been replaced.
