If you were to literally
never make left turns, and make only right turns, certain aspects of your suspension / steering would show more wear over long periods of time, reflecting the imbalance.
Where I live (metro NY area) UPS drivers are told not to make ANY turns any more than they need to. A dirty little secret is that UPS discovered a long time ago that a vehicle's suspension and steering will last a
lot longer with the fewer turns made. Thus, UPS trucks are often seen here parked and making their deliveries
from the middle of the street, rather than parking at the curb. It's not safe, nor legal, but they get away with it because they're never there long enough to get ticketed (and maybe the PD looks in the other direction, because UPS is a big business that has a big 'footprint').
