72 challenger turning radius

good morning all, just picked up this 72 challenger rallye, haven't put on the lift yet but turning radius to left is horrible but turning right is fine, I thought I had come across this before any ideas? it can not make a uturn to left, maybe a UK car

I'm thinking steering box is not centered, a good alignment will take care of it.

Measure the distance between the end of tie rods to center draglink, should be close to the same on both sides.

I had a friend, more my fathers friend, he has since passed away. But he had a twin post lift in his garage. That I was able to use when needed. He could also park his motor home inside... I remember the first time I meet him I was having glass packs put on my 66 Coronet. Asked me if I wanted to go to lunch ? Ok he was the boss.. we got into an old 58 Ford wagon and he drove like <2 miles over to the airport and flew down to Long Beach for lunch

I personally like early TA Fire Birds 69, 70 -73.
I forgot about the SD 74 and 75 TAs as well.
