Driving in the fast lane uphill in a mountainous area of freeway approx 65-70 miles per hour. While continuing driving up the uphill grade the roadway sharply curved to the right. I turned the steering wheel hard to the right to execute the curve, however, the steering wheel turned only so far to the right and then the steering wheel locked up and would not allow me to turn the wheel any further. I panicked because I was uncertain whether I would make the curve successfully. Luckily, I just barely made the curve and did not run off the roadway. I have noticed that this problem(the stiffness when turning right) exists at lower speeds as well. Oddly, the steering is very loose and normal when I make left turns or curves.
