Question
My ford f350 has sudenly become dificult to steer to the right?  I can still drive the truck but it seems as though I have power steering to the left but not to the right.

Answer
Possibly the steering box is on its way out.Look also at the steering components,tie rod ends,inner and outer,tire pressures,upper and lower ball joints,jack up the wheel and turn the steering both ways to see if anything is loose or worn.Could also be a bad rack and pinion or blockage not allowing fluid flow.Dirty fluid may be a cause as well.Dirt in the reservoir and the rack.
