Default Sharp turning?

Hey howcomes the 1stgens turning radius sucks so bad? Any upgrades or would a front axle swapp to a newer one work? More curiousity than anything.

Check the steering stops on the knuckles.

Mine were way out. Turning radius of a battle ship.

Mine also had a steering stabilizer installed by the P.O.
It was bottoming out and binding at full lock.

Took it off, adjusted the stops, now it turns bitchen.
