After performing the Granada swap on '66 Coupe, I noticed that one tire always seems to turn more than the other. Example - if I am turning right, then the right tire will have a sharper turning angle the the left and vice versa when turning left.

It's this normal? Or is there an adjustment that needs to be done to the front end suspension setup?
 
Known as "Ackerman steering" the inside wheel turns more than the outside to reduce (or theoretically eliminate) scrub when turning. You should have to look pretty close to see the difference between the two sides, even at a steep turning angle, so if it's more pronounced then 'step back, stare at it a while, and pretty sure I can see a difference' check to make sure there isn't another problem (bad front end alignment, loose ball joints or bushings etc)
