In the case of steering wheel, perpendicular distance From the axis of rotation is the radius of the wheels and hence is fixed. The left and right handle supply equal and opposite force On the wheels. the Turning effect for forex is maximum when the force are applied tangential to the Wheel . If the two forces are applied in any direction the perpendicular distance between the axis and the force Become lessand hence torque decrease
