2000 JEEP GC Steering binding

This one is a puzzler, well for me at least.

Steering binds when turning to the right.
Owner wants t change PS pump, I don't think that's the issue. PS pump doesn't care if your turning left or right, correct?

I think there's a burr or some other issue in the box. Like hitting a curb that makes one of the balls worry and wear a spot on the worm gear.

Problem is the sector shaft doesn't wobble or move erratically. Taking the pitman arm off in the AM and going to turn the wheel to see if I'm correct in m thinking.

Am I on the right path, or am I lost and just need to change the pump?

Thanks in advance.
