you are welcome!

Add to that...

The effects acting on a propeller aircraft are as follows - NOT the Harrier and I have no idea about how Harrier behaves!

Torque Reaction - your engines turn one way and fuselage try to turn the other way - makes a yaw effect

Gyroscopic Effect - when you yaw, it tries to make a nose down and when you pitch up, it tries to make a yaw, its just because the 90` effect of the point a force is applied from.

Spiral Effect - single engine prop wash make a "air wrap-around" the fuselage and attack the fin, making a yaw!

Asymmetric Blade Effect - what you have precisely mentioned

Finally and importantly

Atmospheric conditions - whatever the weather report contains!

I am not sure how these effects are applied on a turbofan, but mostly applied on turbo props and piston props! the explanation is quite lengthy! if you can do a search on above mentioned you will sure find the answer what you are looking for.
