A stereo track converted to mono is as mono as a mono track recorded in mono. Nothing special about it. However, if SONAR recorded it stereo initially, it's possible the track
interleave is still set to Stereo, so check that in the Inspector panel.
As Chuck notes, stereo plugins can mess with your panning when inserted into a mono track. Internally, SONAR will convert the data stream to stereo to accommodate the stereo effect. If the plugin doesn't know how to handle a mono source properly (many don't), it may very well shift the image. Take out any plugins and see if your left bias persists.
