Another Steering Issue?

Ive searched and find anything related to this. except for people cleaning some connectors, but i have different symptoms.

Just the last few months ive noticed that the car is pulling right started really slow and has progressively gotten worse. And then, while driving at interstate speeds the steering feels fine on left turns but if i'm going straight and try to turn slightly right it feels as if the wheel "locks" temporarily then once it unlocks its fine but takes a little force to get it to turn right. You can feel it lock while going straight.

It seems very dangerous, but weird at the same time.

It doesn't do it if you turn slightly left beforehand, but that isn't right.

Do you all think that it could be a connector? It seems more mechanical to me, but don't know the steering system really at all in this car.

o yeah, there are no fault lights on the dash
I'm asking here first before getting my hands dirty because i'm in a leg cast and i'm pretty limited on what i can do. I want to get some sorta idea before going out there. I haven't driven the car for probably 3 weeks and when I can I don't want to have to fix a immediate problem.

Thanks, TJ
