Default Wont let me turn to the left!

Okay so i went trail riding today and after alittle while into it when i would try turning to the right it would lock up and wouldnt turn but it only does when turning to the left and sometimes it will kind of push the wheels back to the right so does anybody know what it might be and how to fix it? Thanks

Check track bar bushings, tie rod ends, steering stabilized and steering gear box. Also check your frame around the steering gear box for cracks.
