Default limited slip

So when I get on my throttle hard not really hammered it seems as though I can feel the right wheel pulling a little harder than the left.I can feel the rear of the car seem to pull to one side slightly. Could it be shocks,or the rear slip clutch plates being worn.its a 2004 with 50K miles hard to believe it would be the diff

It's natural for the car to walk to the right if the LSD is working properly. Nontheless, you can do a "breakway torque" test to see where your diff is at.

Rear alignment issues will do that, too.

Some videos on testing breakaway torque are wrong, FYI... Here's a good thread on the topic which I suggest reading through completely: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-question.html
