Possible causes:
Center of mass not centered or not assigned in the vehicle controller. Best practice is to create a child gameobject at the proper CoM position and reference it from the vehicle controller's Center Of Mass property.
Non-symmetric or malformed inertia tensor. Best practice is to configure the Parametric inertia mode in the vehicle controller.
Wheel positions not symmetric. This includes the Offset value in the VPWheelCollider component.
Suspension properties not symmetric: distance, anchor, spring, damper.
Wheel properties not symmetric: radius, mass.
Aerodynamic components or external forces not being centered or applied asymmetrically.
Left-right wheels driving on different ground materials.
Ground mesh not perfectly flat and uniform.
