This is a very common problem. First you should check to make sure 
that no one has moved the notches on your lower ball joints away from 
the straight forward position. There is no adjustable stop, but you 
can fabricate a shim for the stop that will reduce the turn angle a 
bit. VW used to sell a part for this.
