weird steering behavior

my truck just started some weird steering behavior. i noticed it was stiff to turn the wheel to the left, but really easy to turn to the right. it also seemed like the steering assist kept wanting to turn right.
i turned to lane keep assist on to see if that would do anything. about a minute after it was on, the wheel jerked to the left (truck did it) and things seemed to be a little better.
the steering seems to be better now, but not entirely correct.
the truck was in 4x4 shortly before this, but nothing unusual occured with using it. i used it earlier in the day as well.

any thoughts?

That is strange and I have no thoughts other than you should include the year and any relevant trim or options info.
