Somet is amiss elsewhere if you are 'changing lanes' when you put your foot down. Fitting an LSD won't make this any better - moreover, it will just show up the problem even more...

Suggest corner weights, geometry, suspension bushes and wheel offset trials. I would hazard a guess you are running 7x13"???

Forgotten more than most ever know

Had the same problem although the car was drivable at 10 psi but horrible at 15 psi. Turns out the local shop had screwed up with alignment and I had excessive toe out, try 9/16" . I had it 4-wheel aligned and adjusted it myself to 3,5 deg caster, about 4 mm toe out and ended up with 1,5 neg camber. The rear is not perfectly aligned but the car runs absolutely straight at 15 psi.

No lsd, and like Dave said it will only make things worse. It cannot rectify a basic problem elsewhere.

Just to emphisie (sp)...

a lsd will highlight defects in the basic setup! Its the same story if you fit slicks... they just show up the bad points on geometery, set up and worn out parts.

ok then I will give the alignment a go. i have not had one for a while and i do have adjustable camber and caster arms so i will try that set up.
Jukka your right at 10psi its not bad at 15 its rotten, i can hear the tyres sreaching left one then the right one and so on it just changes, tourqe steer is not my main issue but the grip.
Dave i was running the 13's but have gone back to 10's for a little more grip and better handleing but still like the look of the 13's too.

ill get another alignment and see how she drives.

thanks boys
