Default Turning radius different on each side

How would I fix (make even) my turning radius on my 88 951 with power steering?

Alignment shop? Are you saying there’s more turn in one direction than the other?

It's possible your rack isn't centred. You need to look in the inspection hole in the steering rack and see if the centre mark on the rod lines up to the hole when the steering wheel is centered. If not, you need to go to an alignement shop and have them centre the rack using the inspection hole, then realign the steering wheel on the steering shaft, and reset the toe to within spec.

Here's a little more info about the centering hole, scroll down to the first pic and description. The centering hole is on the bottom of the rack. Copy/paste for your mechanic.
