Sounds like you have bent "Steering Arms" I just went through this myself on my 28 CDN. Sport Coupe. That's why you have more turns one way then the other. A way to check is to tie a string to the front of the steering arm (Large nut) and run the string to the centre of the rear axle. The arms should be long this string line. Also look up "Ackerman angle"
My problem was the drag ling and centre link where rubbing on each other. Instead of changing the front spring that I've just done the arms where heated and bent for clearance. This is the short version!! Jp
