You would have to have some seriously screwed up diff lockup to do that. Sounds like bad alignment, too much rear bar, or some other problem. There is no way a Salisbury LSD will cause that.

Too much rear lockup causes corner entry understeer, not wheel dragging or oversteer. Tuning the dynamic lockup under decel or overrun helps keep the rear inline, especially on these newer cars with huge rear brakes controlled with electronic brake force distribution.
