Yes, a rack and pinion system can be designed to turn farther one way than the other, depending on the configuration of the components and the limits set by the mechanical design. For example, the rack's length or the pinion's gear ratio can influence the range of motion in one direction. Additionally, physical stops or limits can be incorporated into the system to restrict movement in one direction, allowing for greater travel in the opposite direction.

What is the rack and pinion in rack and pinion steering?
A rack and pinion is a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. The circular pinion engages teeth on a flat bar - the rack. Rotational motion applied to the pinion (by the steering wheel) will cause the rack to move to one side or the other, right up to the limit of its travel. The rack and pinion arrangement is commonly found in the steering mechanism of cars or other wheeled, steered vehicles. This arrangement provides a lesser mechanical advantage than other mechanisms such as recirculating ball, but much less backlash and greater feedback, or steering "feel". If you guessed that rack and pinion steering is used on race cars, you'd be correct. Use the links below to see some diagrams. A picture is definitely worth a thousand words in this case.

Can you retrofit a rack and pinion on a 1988 2500 suburban?
Most modifications are possible if you throw enough money at them. Consider, first, that the recirculating ball steering box is much more reliable and robust than rack and pinion. At any given time, in a rack and pinion, there are never more than three teeth fully engaged (1 or 2 on the pinion and 1or 2 on the rack). If I had a suburban with rack and pinion, it would never leave the street...I wouldn't trust it off-road.
How do you tell if the steering rack is good?
* IF YOU CAN TURN YOUR WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT WITH OUT IT BINDING AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS AT THE RACK THEN MORE THAN LIKLEY YOU RACK AND PINION ARE OK
Is rack and pinion steering adjustable on a 2000 Toyota Echo?
As far as I know the only thing adjustable on the rack and pinion on the Toyota Echo is the toe. If you have the car aligned the mechanic will adjust it to within specifications for you. Other than that you would need some very expensive equipment that only shops and schools buy.
How much should it cost to replace your rack pinion steering on your 2000 Chevrolet Impala?
Estimate around $400. For a 2005 Impala with a new rack and pinion set and some of the old parts it came up to about $700, but that was cheaper than another price that was quoted.
How much would it cost to fix a rack and pinion on a 2003 Ford Taurus?
Much easier and cheaper to replace the rack with a rebuilt unit than to try to fix the old one.
What are the signs of a failing steering rack?
Excessive noise, shudder in the steering wheel when turning it in either or both directions, leaks. IF YOU CAN TURN YOUR WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT WITH OUT IT BINDING AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS AT THE RACK THEN MORE THAN LIKELY YOU RACK AND PINION ARE OK
What tools do you need to replace the rack and pinion on a Nissan Sentra?
I know you will need a pickle fork or ball joint separator for the joints, other than that i think it just unbolts so sockets and wrenches
How does a steering pump work?
Power steering pumps are more complicated than rack and pinion steering. They are driven by belts and pulleys, using power generated by the engine crankshaft.
