I don't see why there should be any difference in turning right or left. There is enough travel on the worm gear for the extra rotation right and left. The pitman arm position can be set in the midway position from right to left and any adjustment needed to make the vehicle track straight can be made by adjusting the tie rod so one wheel tracks straight and then adjusting the tie rod for the other wheel to track straight. If you run out of thread on one end, get what is needed from the other end. Is my thinking too simple?
