Question for those with proper LSDs installed

What you are feeling is normal for your set-up. It's a tight set-up. It won't release like a 1, or 1.5. What you have is good for drifting. Where both

What you are feeling is normal for your set-up. It's a tight set-up. It won't release like a 1, or 1.5. What you have is good for drifting. Where both wheels will drive at the same speed.

When you are in the power, BOTH rear wheels are trying to drive the car equally (and straight ahead at that), and if you have any steering input into the car at that time, the rear tyres are loading the front, so you inhernetly apply a little more steering input to tighten the turn in the direction you are steering.

If you jump out of the gas (abruptly), the car will feel like it "tucks" or "darts" back in and steers more that you;d think - that is just physics as you were applying a tad more steering to cover for the fact that the locked diff is trying to drive the car straight yet you still want it to turn.

If the rear suspension bushes as suspect, the LSD will be loading them as well, so you'll feel some rear steer as well.
