    Can anyone help me confirm? Going left my lock happens at around 1.4 of a turn. Going right it happens at around 1.3 of a turn. Both full lock. Shouldn’t they be the same?

    Car drives perfect and it’s the first time I notice it. There has been no particular event that I can think of that could’ve led to this. Unless it was an alignment after my lift, but that would be surprising that it would’ve gotten messed with to this degree.

    lol, I mean, it sounds like a little but it’s fairly noticeable. I wasn’t looking for it, but I noticed it while driving.

    So update:

    My 2005 S2000 behaves exactly the same left or right.

    My 2022 Miata behaves exactly like the 4Runner, there’s more turning radius to the left than there is to the right.

    Count the exposed threads on the power steering rack at the lock nuts for the outer tie rods. There are around ten threads exposed. If you have more on one side than the other your steering wheel will turn more one way than the other.
