I just read up on that steering sensor. I suppose the sensor could be broken, but I'm still not sure what your mechanic means by torque under acceleration or braking. It's like he's talking about the sensor correcting for torque steer, but these cars don't have torque steer... at least not unless something else is wrong. The sensor really shouldn't have to "compensate" for anything, but who knows, maybe it's fubared???
I would just rotate your tires before trying to dig deeper, though. It's an easy test to do before you start tearing your hair out.

Eventually, yes, which is why I think that's unlikely. I only really mentioned the diff because it's the only other thing besides tires or stability control that could drag the car to one side under acceleration, and the other side off throttle.
