Steering Wheel turns extra sharp to the left and right

[JoeNewportMn]

Hi,

I just bought a 2010 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 6 Cylinder 4.0. I was told that a lot of these vehicles were old police vehicles. Anyway, My concern is that when I turn the steering wheel sharp left or right when I first start to go forward, it feels like the wheel is at a angle and ready to fall off. I was told that the suspension is built that way. I've never noticed that with any vehicle before that I owned! Can someone tell me if the sharpness is normal for these SUV's? I have to make an appointment with my mechanic asap to check the issue , if it is one or if it's normal.

The Explorer actually turns so sharp that it almost binds up. It's so much better than my old F-250 that needed a football field to turn around.
Btw, most police Explorers in our years used the 4.6 V8. The Crown Vic was the go to cop car

Thank you for your information!
