Geometry is the answer on this one.

Take off both tie rods (either end) and jack the axle on one side.
Use a ruler and measure the travel of the steering arm on that spindle from full left to the frame, to full right to the frame.

Next, turn rhe steering wheel full lock right and measure the center steering arm to frame. Then full lock left, measure to same point on frame.

These distances should be very close to the same.

If not the arms on the spindles, or the center arm, need to be chamged in length.

Shorter spindle arms may be more difficult than lengthening the center arm, and more visible.
Good luck, JimN

Be sure all cutting and welding are done professionally, as safety is dependent on quality.
