Steering problem 90 Full Size Bronco 4X4
It drives fine but when I turn "right" its like I have no power steering. I have to put both hands on the steering wheel and "crank" it "right". When I turn left though the steering wheel is fine. I can turn it with just one hand with no problem.
I checked the Power Steering Fluid and all is well.
So what do you think is wrong with my bronco?
Why can I turn Left and not Right?

Steering box, or possibly siezed ball joints on one side. I drove a big rig for a while that would turn one way easy, but the other way hard, and it was the king-pins themselves, not the steering box. They tend to wear a certain way, and if left un-greased for any length of time may become tough to turn one way. This will depend on average driving and most common turns made as well. Easiest way to tell for sure would be to disconnect the pitman arm from the steering linkage, and turn the wheel with the truck turned off. If it turns freely, jack up the front end, and push/pull the wheels one way and the other and see if it is binding there instead. Just my 2 cents.
