Description of the problem	Making a left hand turn in my f250 sd , the steering locked and would not straighten out quickly as normal. I had to quickly animal steering back to neutral position barley missing opposite lane traffic. As i straightened the truck out i felt the wheel being pulled to the left and right by itself. I decided to take my hands off the wheel and it darted to the left. I straightened it out and held the wheel fighting the jerking of the wheel. After a couple of miles it seemed to stop. I brought it to my mechanic. He said my front left caliber is sticking. I decided to do a complete brake job. 4 new calibers, rotors, brake hoses etc. Also he aligned the front and checked all steering components. He could not find anything wrong with the steering. I got the truck back and it stopped really good. Unfortunately the following day the steering acted up. My mechanic could not duplicate what i experienced . Knowing that he checked everything, there could only be two items left. Steering pump or steering box. I had the mechanic change the steering pump and flush the steering system. Now after spending a ton of money on all of this i was hoping it would be solved. After the steering pump had been replaced it seemed to drive like new. The next day im driving the truck feeling that the problem is solved when i made a left hand turn, i heard a loud popping noise and felt my steering wheel and column shake. Steering locked again and i had to nail the brakes so i would not collide with the median. I barely got the wheel to straighten out. This time the truck was pulling left to right more defined. I did all i could to keep it straight. Luckily i was only a couple of miles from my house. I could not go over 20mph or i would have lost total control of the truck. I later had the truck towed to my mechanic and he is going to replace the steering box. Lives are at risk.
