It doesn't feel like a brake though (which it should be doing all the time if that's the case, and there's no burnt brake smell), and it's under steady power or even coasting - but not lift-off in the corner, more like off the gas before entering. I have new tires (it was doing it before and after tires). I also just had an alignment done which appeared to help a bit. Before it happened in the forties, now it happens in the fifties. Otherwise, the car continues to drive straight, doesn't pull, no unusual tire wear, no vibration.

And again, it's not just a plain old traction loss because it's happening on ramps I regularly did at 70+ with no drama. It also doesn't appear to happen at low speed.

Is it possible for the Torsen LSD to go bad or get damaged and do something like this? Just spitballin' here.
Very similar to what i experienced. Hold on now that i remember when i got the car the driveshaft was disconnected to tow it. I reinstalled it but i dont have a torque wrench could it be possible the bolts arent tight enough?
