I have one thought that happened to my 1937 steering box. I rebuilt the steering box with a new worm gear and a new pin and roller for my existing sector shaft. When put back together it turned to the right all the way, but was about 1/2 turn shy going left. On inspection the replacement pin was slightly longer than the original and hit the steering box case before reaching full turn. I ground the pin down and put a spot weld on it. Problem solved.
