Thanks for the help.

That it is a limited slip does explain a lot about the bind I get in tight
corners.

Shou;d I assume the rear is also limited slip?

Thanks again.

Only the rear is limited slip, not the front. The "bind" you are referring
to is more likely due to the fact that it is all-wheel-drive rather than
because of a rear limited slip. The viscous coupling in the transfer case
gets a good workout when you turn tight corners.
