When I turn my wheel all the way to the left it locks up and will not return, if I turn all the way to the right it's works fine. There is a new tie rod assembly on the right side and I cannot find anything broken or bent. It seems like it "hyper-extends". Could this be a steering box problem?Thank-you

It could be a steering problem but if the tie rod was replaced and the front end wasn't aligned, then that may be your problem. But it could be a steering box problem as well. Have it checked out.
