Hi Andrew.

From what you've said, it's more than likely that your steering is suffering from stiff u-joints (spray with PB Blaster to loosen them up) or you have a balljoint that's got a torn boot and is seizing up. Or a tie rod end. You should be able to isolate the problem pretty easily. Torn boots on the tie rod ends or balljoints are easy to spot. The universal joints in the steering aren't so easy to tell from the outside, but a good shot with penetrant often loosens up the works. Follow up with white lithium grease or something that will hang around and keep dust and debris out of the way.
