Sounds like the adjustment on the steering gear box is too tight. Were the parts new or used?

Make sure the castor angle is correct. If the front axle was installed with shims or if it is installed in a way that causes the pinion to angle up at all from stock, then the castor angle will not be enough to center the tires after a turn.
