Turning left versus right

I noticed that turning left in my 03 wrx has a wider radius than turning right. I thought it might have been an illusion, but, the steering wheel from center to left turns-to-lock is about 1.25 turns. Whereas, turning right is about 1.75 turns.

Does this make any sense? Is this normal?

That's different because I never had that problem with my 04 WRX.

I demand you post a video. Both turning the wheel lock to lock and turning the car left and right within chalk lines.

Maybe it just seems that way because of being on the left hand side of the car?
