Scary ****!?!?! you spoiled SOB, that is just POWAH!!

O well, if you want to hook it up sway bar is okay if the rear axle is torqueing that mauh and you are litterally doing wheeled burnouts. Could also thingk Panard bar, adj. torque arm or lca relocation brackets.

I believe what you are referring to is power steer (not power steering)- just like torque steer on a front wheel drive vehicle- but the reverse.

Sway bars do not have anything to do with solving this. You have a gear climb situation and a posi unit that's probably less than perfect. The solution- make sure posi is in good shape, and get more weight over the passenger rear wheel to keep it from pulling as easily (unless you got some other issue going on, your rear would be pulling the car to the right- i.e. passenger side). How you get more weight over that wheel is your decision- get an adjustable control arm setup- install an adjustable airbag on that side to raise that corner of the car- whatever.

If this disturbs you, you don't want to fiddle and spend money here and there and you can't drive the car effectively as a result- dump the gears you have (i.e. assuming 3.23's or higher- numerically) and go with something more highway-friendly and that won't generate much torque at the wheels at low RPMs.
