help with steering

On my 93 w250 it will turn deep to the left but the right don't turn half what the left does I jacked it up its hitting the stop bolts on both sides but I was wondering if this is normal and if so what could be done to improve the right turning radius. With a trailer it is almost impossible to make a right turn in town, any help would be appreciated. thanks Mike

I noticed the stops are the same way on my truck. Mine also turns better to the left. My stops are welded into position. Could we all be victums of a disgruntaled employee at Dana that had a "get even attitude" or is there some other rational reason why turning to the right is limited? Is it time to get out the grinder and tweak the thickness of the head of the stop or is this a bad idea?

not sure about the pitman arm but will check, my stops are not welded in but threaded in as deep as they will go not sure how much we could gain by grinding. I know there has to be some kinda fix. Trebor may be on the right track. any more suggestions. I bet there is a full turn possible a turn and half difference in the right and left side I will count them the next time I'm out. Thanks Mike
