Is the Right Side Narrow When Reversing into the Right Parking Spot Due to Steering Too Early or Too Late?

[SanWeston]

When the right side is narrow while reversing into the right parking spot, it is usually caused by steering the wheel too early. This situation generally occurs due to insufficient estimation of the left rear. Solution for steering too early when reversing into the right parking spot: Turn the steering wheel back half a turn or a full turn (the exact amount depends on the situation, possibly even 3/4 of a turn). Wait until the right rear wheel enters the spot and passes the upper right corner (do not turn back the wheel immediately when the right rear wheel just enters), then continue steering fully to the right. When the car body is almost but not completely straight, straighten the steering wheel.
