Default steering not returning

Steering tight after I take a turn it turns back most of the way but won't go all the way. It feels like it's a little stiff but riding do it if it's in 4x4. It's got the solid front axle.

----------

But it don't do it in 4x4*** oops sorry.

----------

Don't do it in 4x4** power steering is full. Nothing looks Jacked up under steering cover.

Caster makes it return on its own. If you don't have enough caster it won't automatically want to return on its own. Kinda like the front wheels on a shopping cart. Have the caster checked.
