when im driving straight i can turn the steering wheel quickly to the right and the turning feels tight. when im going straight and i turn the steering wheel quickly to the left it feels less tight than the right. what could be the problem?

difference in alignment is the most likely scenario.

Either that or a perceptual anomaly. When you turn right, your body is following a longer path (think of a pendulum) than when you make the same sharpness turn to the left, so your body experiences more G.
