Merciless your car will always go straight if you lock up the brakes and have 2 diffs in or diff and a spool. Cars will not steer if the brakes are lokced and the car will push or plw straight ahead til you let off the brakes some and the wheels can free wheel. Now if you use a one way up front then you can steer while you apply some brakes but then you more than likely get really loose as the rear tires lock and the fronts don't and it is be like 2wd drive and slide the rear. You could add a tad bit of caster under you front ball studs under the a arms as this will giv you more off power steering. Start with 1mm spacers and work your way up from their. I wouldn't go more than 2mm or so.
2mm Shim under the front a-arm balls Man that would be around 10deg caster ..... and if you had a Xenon hub it would be even more
