Default Re: Left turn much sharper than right turn

it is also possible that the arm on the left spindle is bent. with the wheels straight ahead the arm should be directly over the axle.
This true but the defect is likely not in the arm.

Probably the front axle is "curled" back around the radius rod, spring perch.

Caused by hitting a large something with one wheel in forward motion, it's a common fault of Model A axles (its actually quite hard to find an axle that is "straight." Most have this fault to some degree.)

With an adjustable drag link, the defect can be "adjusted out." Well, at least the wheels will have "nearly" equal turn left or right.
