how do you know minimal bump steer?
did you measure it or just test it going over bumps at speed?

I have a tru trac LSD and as long as I don't break traction the car tracks straight during WOT and instant throttle off... So reading this I have to ask why all of us who dont use traction bars don't have this problem...

could be a combination of torque steer and misalignment, bushings could be deflecting when you throttle on so when you let off the alignment yanks it the opposite direction. and just to throw this in i have traction bars as well but i dont see how it would affect the front end during deceleration unless the leaf spring is wrapping so violently that when you let off its forcing the rear of the car upward
