Steering issue

I have a '94 F-250 with 191k miles, still runs great, but I'm having a steering issue.
I have plenty of PS fluid and the pump sounds ok, when I turn the steering wheel, it feels like it's binding up, the it'll "break free" and operate almost normally.
I can kinda feel something in there when I turn, then it'll start to bind again.
can any on give me a definitive answer to this issue?
thanks

I would start with checking the front axle U joints. Turn the wheels all the way in either direction. Then reach into the C's and see if each axle turns free.

I'll second the front axle joints. Jack it up and pop the tie rod off the knuckle, it should turn freely. Left to right like when turning.
