Just to confirm the issue, when you turn left it turns fine? Then when you turn right it feels like it is rubbing something?

Sounds like the steering rack has failed. We can confirm this by lifting the front tires so there is no load on them and turning side to side. Does it still make a rubbing noise? If not, then the rack is most likely leaking internally or failing in some other way. While we have it lifted we need to check the tie rod ends and ball joints just to confirm they are tight.
I attached the process below of how to change the steering rack if we are able to confirm this.
Thanks
