What do you mean by "over-sized " ? The more cold cranking amps the better....
My pickup has a 1000 amp battery, turning a Little V6...
And you wont hurt anything.....

That steering gear box likely needs to be replaced if it's that bad, but there is also likely a lot of monkey motion in the tie rod ends on the drag link and tie rod.

If you had a 24V battery for some reason, you'd have a problem. And you'd definitely notice your starter spinning that fast lol
Voltage is the power. Amperage is capacity.
