Default weird steering problem.

so i got into my car this morning to go to work. and try to turn the wheel to the right. but the wheel didnt even move, like the wheel was locked. so i checked, then i had to use a lot of force to turn it, once it was turned, it was free and for the rest of the trip it was fine, its like it was frozen, it turned to the left just fine there is no whinning or grinding of any sort, and no bubbles in the res. anyone have an idea what its problem is?

Well I gotta ask this, so don't hate, but were you parallel parked right close to the curb lol?
I've never seen that before, but maybe your tumbler didn't disengage the locks for some reason. Id go about life as normal until it happens again.

nah i wasnt paralle parked. and it happens everytime i dont drive the car for over like 8 hours. i turn the wheel and it real hard, then it loosens up and its fine until the next time i dont drive it for a while. i live in the poconos and its like 20 degrees, i feels like it frozen. but only when i turn to the right.
