My DB9.2's steering is 3.0 turns to lock. I find I have to move the steering wheel more than I would like to get wheel angle, especially around town or during spirited country driving.

I drove a Vanquish II (which are 2.6 turns to lock) which had much pointier steering. There may well have been other factors at play.

Has anyone made their steering more direct by e.g. changing steering rack, modified steering arms or another solution?

Long ago, I quickened the steering on my Nissan 240Z by replacing the steering knuckles with ones with a shorter length between the steering rack end and the ball joint (or longer between ball joint and wheel hub?), or a little of both. Didn’t look like much from looking at the stock knuckle side by side with the shorter version, but did it make a difference. A sneeze would put you into the next lane.
