steering problem
On my 2004 grand Cherokee it will turn to the right . When jacked up it works ok and is much better in the morning when cold. Very hard to turn to the left if at all. New pump installed from the dealer. Ant ideas what might be the problem ?

Old fart with a wrench
Welcome to CF!
The only thing I can tell you is what happened to my '00 WJ (Grand Cherokee Laredo). The previous owner mounted the steering damper incorrectly and the clamp on the steering link got loose and slid down the link until it contacted the right wheel's rim. It would steer to the right okay, but when you turned left, it wouldn't go all the way and it was making a scrapping sound. The idiot bolted it to the tierod end's clamp, not to it's own clamp.
