Question Overbanking tendency

In my years of flying, I've always believed that during a turn, the lift was equal on both wings. Recently I've found in the FAA-H-8033-3B pag. 3-13, a description of overbanking tendency due to a faster travelling outside wing in respect to the inside wing during a turn, so you have to counteract by opposite aileron when the desired bank angle is reached. Being now some years that I retired from flying, so I could be wrong, I can't recall to have ever used such a maneuver during a turn. I did some research in aerodynamics books, but did not find anything about this tendency. Could someone shed light on this aerodynamic fact.
