When 1st started and backing out of the driveway, the steering will lock and become very notchy when turned to the right. Gearbox or P/S pump? Flushed the system with BG kit and no help.

Does it feel like the lock is coming on or does it feel more like a component locking up in the front end? Have you checked u-joints and CV joints?
