Description of the problem	Steering wheel freezes turning to the right. My wife was going to town and came to a right hand curve and the steering wheel would not turn then popped free. This has happened now when maneuvering to park or just driving down the road at varying speeds. It is at the ford dealer now being repaired. I talked to the mechanic doing the repair work. He asked me what year the truck was and told him it was a 2006 f-250 4x4. He then told me that ford changed the type of steering gear box that they use in 2005 and have had a lot of problems with the sector gear in the steering gear boxes ever since they did that change. I installed a filter on the return line. After driving it a few miles i replaced the filter and dismantled the old filter and found a thick layer of sludge on the magnet part of the filter. This indicated that something was wearing and contaminating the system with metal particles.
