Default No power steering to the right

I don't know what the deal is. Its been this way for over a year but it never really bothered me but now its getting very annoying! Its never made any whining noise and i've never seen anything leaking. It just stopped having power steering only turning to the right. Turning to the left is fine. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

What problem? Find the nearest Nascar track and go fast!!!
Seriously, I'd say your rack has issues.

Yep, sounds like you need a new rack and pinion. If it is easy to turn one way then you know the power steering pump is working. If it were an issue where it was hard to turn both ways then you could assume it was the pump that is bad.

The pump does not care which way you turn.
