Default Steering Question...

ok well i went over some rough pavement today...a little hard...maybe 2 hard well anyways... after i went over the hard pavement i came to a redlight and i tried to move my wheel to the left alittle... and it would not budge an inch... so i got on the gas (not hard so i know its not toque steer) but my front end went all the way to the left and i had to steer hard to the right to get it to go straight...and then it seemed to straighted itself out and the steering wheel was straight and all... well i had to make a right turn... and i let the wheel slip to get it back to the normal position...and it wouldn't slip... and i did relize that it was harder to turn it to the right then it was to turn it to the left... and my steering feel as left almost...like before it was effectless to turn... but now i have to add a little effect to get it to turn... could this be related to my steering rack? cause my rack and whole front end when turning at slow speeds would creek like crazy... and i know my CV joints need replacing but that wouldn't cause this would it?

Take it in to a shop you trust.....fixing that is not something the average driver/owner can do. Be careful when driving.......

How's your fluid level???? If it's OK, then sounds like it could be the rack.
