Question DCCD diff lock correcting steering problem

JDM Blob STi with dccd.

I recently had a full geometry set up but slammed in to a speed bump at 60mph, wallop!

When I'm driving the steering pulls from side to side a bit with the dccd in auto, but as soon as I diff lock it the steering sorts itself out and becomes solid and responsive.

Could this be related to whacking that speed bump?

But if so why would diff locking correct it?

What else might be the issue?



PS: I recently snapped a rear drive shaft drifting... just saying lol

I'm thinking locking the diff making it 50:50 from 30:70 tightens up the front axles.

Maybe I've damaged the front axles when I bolloxed up the rear...

Investigation needed.

I forgot to mention I tw@ted a kerb really hard the other day too...

Ignore me ppl, I'm sure this is just a tracking issue.
