Yes I have noticed the same thing in my SVX. The back end does swing out when the wheels start to spin. I think your right about the limited slip rear.

The front and rear power shafts from the tranny have to spin at the same speed when the transfer valve kicks in on our USA models.

So when turning a corner the inside rear wheel is going to turn faster than the ground speed due to the LSD rear and the outside wheel will turn slower than ground speed.

Each of the front wheels will turn at ground speed because the front diff is not LSD.

Remove the LSD rear? What is it there for?
