The torque-vectoring differentials can control the amount of power going to each wheel connected to the axle using hydraulics or electric solenoids. This decoupling of the driveline can reduce rotating mass and load on the engine. This can make an open differential act like a limited-slip differential under certain conditions.

If the wheel binds up with the engine at idle, rev the engine up to 1500-2000 rpm and try again. Doing this will increase the output from the power steering pump, and that added hydraulic pressure should be able to overcome any mechanical binding coming from the steering shaft U-joints. This is a sign of memory steer.
