Default Steering trouble

I have a 92 CX with a complete gsr suspension. I have been having a problem lately controling the car in the top end. Whenever i switch from 1st to 2nd at about 5000 - 8000 rpm the car starts to turn. It pulls preety hard and i have to keep both hands on the wheel to control it. It also does this when im swiching lanes at about 90+ on the highway. It only does this when HP is at its peak. I have no power steering could this be the issue, or is it ball joints or something else. My allignment is off but not very severly, i also hear a creaking noise when i start moving or go in reverse from 1st gear. Thanks for any responses.

Its a 2000 ITR transmission with a factory LSD maybe 35,000 miles on it would that have anything to do with it?

That symptom sounds like torque steer, but since you have a limited slip diff, it puzzles me. Maybe its a bad one?

Im gonna take it in for it to get looked at, i picked up the car today on the jack and spun the back rear wheel to notice that the bearing is making noise could this be a reason.
