Steering turn radius question/issue SAS

COMPUTER IS NOW GOT ISSUES SORRY ABOUT THE REPOST

My 93 runner has got a issue I can't figure out so I know someone here will know and can help me. Here's the issue I thought my steering box was bad so I replaced it and have the same problem when turning to the LEFT WITHOUT THE STEERING BOX HOOKED UP it turns good could go farther but not bad don't hit the steering stops but to the right it barley turns at all

EXAMPLE
TURNED RIGHT FULLY STEERING BOX NOT HOOKED UP IN ANY OF THE PICTURES


TURNED LEFT FULLY


AGAIN FULL LEFT


AND FULL RIGHT


When I try to drive it and turn RIGHT it just pushes and keeps me going straight scrubbing the tread off the tire and to make a simple right hand turn from a stop is a minimum 4 point turn just to turn through a stop sign.

Left turns on the other hand are close to stock could be a little better but liveable. Any help ideas or thoughts greatly appreciated. I need to get this figured out before this winter gets here so I got a way to get around
