Steering help needed!

Please help! I have an issue with the steering on my 08 f150. I was backing up over a bump and heard a popping sound. Now I have limited power steering. Wheel will turn left with some slight binding but have no power to the right. I have checked the shaft between the steering wheel and rack as well as any visible ball joints. I also tested the pump at high rpm with no improvement. No fluid has leaked out. I’m thinking it could be the rack. Any ideas of anything else to check out? Thanks in advance.

Replace the rack, the spool valve has failed.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies I was thinking rack but wanted some other thoughts. Don’t like throwing parts at it unless I’m relatively sure.
