So you turned the steering wheel 90 degrees left or right to make a 90 degree turn left or right? I usually have to turn the wheel a couple of rotations to achieve this?

180 degrees is half a turn of the wheel (grab the wheel at the 12 o'/clock position and rotate it until your hand reaches the 6 o'clock position). 360 degrees is one full turn.

I would have it towed in. It sounds like something maybe seriously wrong or the rack has come loose which would account for the extra rotation. I have had loose racks on other models but they have always caused noises not driving complaints.
