Default What does this sound like to you?? (pulling left)

The trans has a stock LSD. The thing is that when i jump on it (but not hard enough to make the tires break loose) the car pulls to the left pretty hard..almost like it floats to the left. But when I let back off the gas it corrects itself and goes back to the right or center position. When i'm just driving normal and let the wheel go it goes very slightly to the right. But when i really get on it and break the tires loose the car goes straight. Why is the car pulling to the left? Is this just torque steer, and since the tires arent breaking loose the LSD is not needing to work and correct anything? Curious what your thoughts are and why it pulls to the left. Thanks for any help.

Hit any curbs lately?

Might be alignment.

nope havent hit anything. I'm ok with the slight pull to the right. I understand that. Its the whole hard pull to the left only under acceleration but only when the tires arent spinning. Which is why i'm confused.

i'd say alignment or possibly steering rack - check the tie rods for any play or worst case scenario the whole rack itself.
