Steering

I have an 01 f250, the truck wont turn left it will turn right. I am assuming its the gear box but not for sure, could it be the power steering pump. any suggestions or help would be great thanks

I don't see how the pump would restrict movementin only one direction

I would pull the drag link from the pitman arm and try it first. I would also get one from the wrecking yard. Not that hard to put in but you need a big socket and separator.
