Your engine is probably tilting a bit in the turns and affecting the linkage travel.

I agree with Lance.

The ALDA has no effect on the pedal travel. It limits the rack via the use of springs. The driver can't feel the change.

My first thought was motor mount(s), like the other gentleman said, engine tilt.

Seen that before, motor mounts broken causing accel. linkage problems.

Have somebody very carefully put a low slight load on engine.

"E" brake set, foot on brake, going from drive to reverse, let off accel. pedal when switching gears, slowly, while you stand at each side fender watch engine, with steering turned to problem side, see what happens.

You should only need to do that a couple of times to verify whether the mounts are ok or broken.

Just want to point out, be careful.
