Turning from straight to lock

So I noticed that my Evo (08 GSR) turns farther to the right then left.
maybe sharper is the better word.

Is this just mine? or is this normal and I'm an idiot??

Do you mean that the wheels steer farther one way than the other, or that you can rotate the steering wheel more one way than the other, or both? In any event, that's weird. The three 08s that I've driven all turned left better (and it's not because of my fat butt in the driver's seat since the owner of one was both bigger than me and riding in the passenger seat).

Both... the wheel turns farther from straight position to locked right...
and the wheels turn a bit sharper. Im not talking much but it does happen.

But as far as handling... it seems equal between left and right bends.

That's very weird. The only explanation that jumps to mind is that the steering wheel was removed and reinstalled in the wrong (clock) position. If this is true, then it needs to be fixed ASAP, because it will be giving importantly incorrect information to the ASC and AYC systems.

To be clear: all else being equal and correct, the steering wheel should be turnable an equal amount in the two directions. If this isn't true, it suggests that the steering wheel isn't at the right position which is not good.

ps. I'm aware that "turnable" is not a word, but, given how often I edit my posts to correct the grammar and spelling, I'm letting myself off on this one

I should probably figure out whats up with that then. \

The AYC has never done anything weird on me. It behaves like it is meant to... Or at least I'm assuming.

ehh... turnable makes sense, therefore its a word.
