chef here, well! the power steering reservoir was dry. put power steering fluid in.
raised the front end off the ground.started engine and the steering wheel went totally
left. tried to turn it right but no go would not turn right. shut off engine and i could turn it both ways. opened line to see if there was air in the line. what could cause the steering wheel not to go right? could the pump be bad because no fluid?

                                                 Thanks, chef

I would say valve is frozen, may need freed up before adjusting.         MACK
