if it isnt to costly, id replace the right one aswell like others have suggested.

In the real world, drive torque isn't always equal to each tyre and the scrub radius is certainly not equal after 10 years of bushing abuse.
afaik the lhs has an intermediate shaft before the inner cv joint, which would make it torque steer slightly to the left regardless.
