An LSD stands for limited slip differential. So no, your car does not come stock with an LSD. At the most it comes with a VLSD, a VLSD is a viscous differential. This means that sometimes when your car is loosing traction the other wheel will spin to help it out.

No it does not "lock up" at turns, if 1 wheel is loosing traction on a turn the other may ( but not always ) start to turn to make up.

If you have an aftermarket LSD when you make turns at a low speed it may feel as if the car is jerking because both wheels are spinning at the same time. The one on the outside will be spinning at the same rate as the inside. So it may feel as if your loosing power, but that is only because the outside tire is not just following the inside but it is equal.
