Its quite simple, when the pinion gear in the front gearbox applies a torque to the ring gear, that torque is felt by the chassis. Because the chassis isn't flat anymore, it twists the front suspension relative to the rear, this puts crossweight in the car where the right front and left rear tire have more weight on them than the other two. Add in a little tire slip that we always have, and even when holding the front wheels absolutely straight the car will pull to the side under power.
