Somewhat but not necessarily. An LSD will simply transmit power to the wheel with traction. If only one wheel has good traction it'll be that one seeing ALL the torque. Not necessarily a GOOD thing if you know what I mean. LSDs, while eliminating pesky wheelspin don't always necessarily eliminate torque steer.
