Steering Problem

2002 F250 5.4 4X4 145,000 miles. I hit a tree stump with my right front tire @ 5-10 mph. Drove about 10 more minutes with no problem. Shut it off. Upon starting, full right turn operational, though, only about 5 degree turn from center to the left, stops as if you have reach the end of turn. It will NOT go beyond that. I have the truck on jacks; steering wheel is now off-center; left turn high by 2 inches. No leaks or front end damage, just a heavy scuff on right tire (passenger side). Tried it both in and out of 4 High/Low and free. No luck... I need help in pin-pointing cause

If nothing is obvious maybe you damaged the PS box. Or even more likely spun the pitman arm on the shaft.
