My steering is hard to turn to the right, but I dont't have this problem when turning the steering to the left. Also when turning the steering wheel to the right you hear like a air sound inside the truck but you don't hear this when you are outside the truck. The power steering pump was replaced and the problem still exists. There are no leaks under the truck. What may be the problem?

Problem is in steering gear unit. Did pump shaft break ? If so metal may have entered system and is effecting gear.
