Question stiff steering at low speed

truck acts like it has "armstrong" steering at city speeds, BUT only in right hand turns. have checked fluid in p/s pump, it's okay; belt is tensioned snug. is it my p/s pump going bad or is there somewhere else i can look for a problem??? help me, i'm not as strong as i once was and the steering wheel is about to whip me. LOL any help/advice is appreciated much.

He's got a 90 F250....... see his profile, I know sucks looking for info to give info but some have not learned about signatures......

If it is hard to turn one way most likely a valve in the steering box......is the right answer....

sorry about that. consider myself kind of computer literate, just haven't found all the particulars about navigating this site and haven't figured out how to do a signature yet. will keep looking. it's aggravating to type that stuff in every time and have been envious of all other posts having that info at bottom of post.
thanks for info/advice, plc7.3 . will try to check that out.

In the blue bar right above this post the far left option is "User CP"
Click that and then the top option in the drop down is "Edit Signature"
Click that and enter all the facts you know about your truck.

thanks dave sponaugle! as my son says, "you're the bomb" not sure exactly what that means, but it's supposed to be the best....looks like they'd just say that, huh? anywho, thanks for the help. maybe that will make it easier for help to come my way.
