just had a thought on a possible way to use a Wiper Motor. it won't be like 
 a regular servo 100%, more like a momentary but i think it could get 
someone  very close and i'm sure the electrical wizards in here could work out 
the last  detail.
 
first there would be the wiper motor, to power it, it would require a set  
of relays activated by micro (cherry) switches. the servo would rotate  
activating on of the micro switches. that then triggers the relays  (going to 
need 2 relays per side of this i think) to click on (as the  relay could 
handle the voltage and amperage better than the micro switch). the  first of 
the 
2 relays sends power to the wiper motor and it starts to turn (say  to the 
vehicle to the left). as soon as the operator decides it's turned far  
enough, he lets the stick go back to center, and the relay switches off -  BUT
 
there is now power to the other side of the relay that is now making the  
wiper motor go in the other direction. it will keep going until ? and this is 
 where it needs to be finished. what ever it is, it has to turn off the 
second  servo as that is sending power to the first for the wiper motor. i 
figure what  ever it is, it'll have to be mounted next to the steering arm for 
when it comes  back to center
 
and please don't make me draw this out as i'm sure i'd get some of it  
wrong, but the idea is sound, just need help with the last part
