nismo lsd problem
i recently put on my nismo lsd with the central 20 final drive. not too long ago my car started to pull like crazy to the right when i would let go of the steering wheel, but i thought it was just bad alighnment from when i got my car towed. so i got it aligned when i bought a new tire and it didnt fix the problem, so i took it to another place to alighn it thinking that would fix it and it didnt. so they told me it was my front tires and i really didnt want to spend the money on 2 front tires. so i took it to the dealer to see what they would say. they told me that my control arm was bent and that was causing it, so i got a new one under warranty but that still didnt fix the problem. they told me that the lsd is what is making it pull so hard to the right. they told me to try going 60 and put the car in neutral and see if it goes straight and then see if the car goes straight when you accelerate alittle. and surely enough they were right that is exactly what it did. is this common with the lsd?

1. If your rear tires have a different overall diameter (from wear or different sizes) that could case rear steer.
2. Check your rear suspension for binding. If one side binds under acceleration that would case the car to pull to the bound side.
3. Check the rear end installation itself to see if a bushing or mount is worn.
If none of the above, its time to open up the diff and check it out.
