turning radius

i dont know if you guys know it or not but our cars have a terrible turning radius. i'm scared to make a u turn on a 2 lane street because i know i'll have to throw it in reverse.

is it possible to improve the turning radius for maximas?

turning radius is usually best increased by increasing caster in the front wheels...something not really suggested on a primarily front wheel drive car...then you have scrub radius problems which come into play....
