I had a similar problem once with an older chassis that I had when I raced asphalt late models. My problem wasn’t so much spinning the inside tire, but the car was loose on exit...due to inside tire spin, therefore causing locker to lock and get me loose...and we tried everything. I’m talking we threw the notebook at the car, and could not get it right. Changed rears. Messed with stagger from 0 to 4+”, sway bars, springs, shock settings, moved weight, new tires, old tires, wheel offsets, you name it. We couldn’t fix it. Finally figured out it was unloading inside tire because rear shock mounts were wrong, causing the shock to be too short, therefore lifting the tire effectively. Ran a 9” stroke shock package, just as the chassis manufacturer suggested. Had to change upper shock mount on chassis to fix. About drove me crazy. Especially considering that I have all of the computer simulator software that is available at the time and it’s telling me I’m not loose. My setup guy and shock builder helping me was Chase Elliots crew chief for his super late model stuff, and he told me to junk the car and buy a new one, which I about did. But I’m persistent and we finally figured it out.

Oh wow, that is a problem that would drive someone absolutely crazy. I don't think we have that issue but I'm going to double check now!
