[Fot] LSD

Marks comment did lead me to an theory:

If the force of the prop shaft makes that the rear axle press the left wheel
on the ground and pulls the right wheel slightly up this would cause the
axle to steer because the leaf springs are higher mounted at the rear than
in front.
If the right wheel goes up and the left goes down the rear axle would change
direction to the left.....which make the car going to the right "on
throttle" - opposite "off throttle"

As I change axle ratio from 4.1 to 4.55 the engine force is greatly
increased which might result in more steer from the axle.
Could this be?
If so, then torque rods are now mandatory.

There is also the reaction of the axle housing against the propshaft.
The shaft turns one way, the axle reacts in the opposite direction.
One wheel is pushed a bit harder into the rollers, one lifted a bit
up.
