A friends Bronco won't steer properly

Post by flyboy2610 »

A coworker of mine has an older Bronco, I forget the year, that he went rock crawling with last weekend. Now, the power steering works fine when turning left, but it's back to the old Armstrong method when turning right. He says he looked underneath and can't see anything bent or out of place. He wonders if a pinched hose could cause this problem, or maybe the steering gearbox itself is bad?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks much!

possibly a bad seal on the main piston in the box or dirt/damage to the torsion valve.
