    If its only happening one way your steering rack could be off center too. Get her tracked up.

    Yeah as Wez said the rack may not be centered even when the wheels are pointing straight, you'll know easily if one trackrod is adjusted differently than the other, i.e ones shorter and ones longer! Therefore only sticking on full lock one way and not the other!
