The steering sector gear and steering wheel gear are probably worn to the point of causing this issue. Lower the deck and look underneath the mower and follow the steering wheel rod down to locate gears.

Looks like a nasty steering system to work on. First is both wheels not turning to right or is it just the RH wheel. THis would narrow where in the steering gear box to start looking at.
