You don't need to go to a shop, you have to ADJUST the ADJUSTABLE drag link. I had the exact problem, left turns were no problem and the rights were crazy wide. Just play around with it till it works right.

Adjust the adjustable drag link until it is adjusted to adjust your steering adjustment correctly. Is there a reason you installed this adjustable drag link?

Is English still required in Hawaii?

English? Is that some new form of Ebonics? I don't think I have heard of English before.

On the adjustable drag links, they have one the rod ends set up with the pre-load spring towards the inside end of the link on both ends. In the stock drag link you have one spring inside and one spring outside. Whey does that make any difference you might ask? Well when you turn one direction (like left) you are pulling on the drag link and have solid metal to metal connection for the ball suds on the pitman and steering arm and the drag link. Turn the other way and compress the two springs and now you have no solid connection inside the drag link. So the trick is to crank down on the rod ends of the drag link as tight as you can get them. You can read about how I adjusted mine on the web page below:
- http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/4R_suspension.shtml#PhaseI

With the stock drag link, you have balanced steering left and right because there is always a spring on one end and a solid end on the other end no matter which way you steer. With the adjustable drag link, you either have solid-solid or spring-spring depending on which way you turn. It is sort of a design flaw in those adjustable drag links. They give you two identical rod ends while they really should make two different rod ends like Toyota did for the stock drag link.

This is a writeup for aligning crossover steering but would apply to the stock push-pull steering as well:

Basically, center the steering box so it is in the middle of its range of travel the adjust the drag link length to get the front tires straight ahead.
