Steering Issue

I'm new tp the fiorum and new to diesels. I've owned my 2008 F-250 XLT SuperCab Long Bed 6.4L for about 2 years now. Recently I've been experiencing a problem with my steering. It happens when I turn both left and right but it doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes when I turn then go to straighten back up, it will still want to continue pulling to the direction I turned (either left or right). I'll turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction to straighten the truck up then I'll give it a quick wiggle back and forth a couple times adn the problem goes away for a couple days, weeks, or months. It's not consistent at all. Any ideas on what it might be? My power steering fluid is full. I'm thinkin it could possibly be the front wheel u-joints or the steering gear box.

That does sound like the u-joints are froze up.

X2 on the front ujoints. Had this happen in my last truck and it would hop lanes on me without any warning.
