Good evening,
My 1998 b2100 is pulling hard to the left. Everything is straight and nothing is bent, tire pressures are both the same, the hydraulic fluid is full and no leaks were observed. It turns very easy to the left but it is a bear to turn to the right. Any insight would be very helpful if anyone is familiar with this issue.

north little rock, ar
new here, as well as new to my b2100, but my little project turns ( by the steering wheel anyway ) real easy. have you inspected the knuckle bearings to see if any of the knuckle bearings are in need of replacing ?.

Jack up front axle and look for wheels that do not rotate easily and smoothly and also see how the steering works side to side with the wheels in the air.

Do the same with the rear axle looking for a wheel that does not rotate easily.

Ended up being a damaged thrust washer in the steering hydraulic valve
