steering issues

I have a 2006 350 King ranch with a 6L diesel. When I'm making a left turn, the steering wheel locks up on the way back.It locks as if there is no power steering, If I continue pulling on the steering wheel it will aventurally release or if I jerk the steering back to the left it will instantly release. This problem only occurs when turning left and doesn't do it all the time. I've bought it to 2 garages and they expieced the problem but no solutions. When my 3 year old is with me I'm very nerves about this issue because this problem has occured during a fish tail experience. Any suggestion/solutions would be highly appriciated.

Have you had pump pressure checked? Steering coloumn pivots checked for binding? Or the box itself run without all the steering hooked up? There was a similar issue with dodge dakotas where the u joints in the coloumn would bind and make steering hard and sometimes lock in a partial turn.
