I'm pretty sure finsruskw meant to say give it a 1/4 turn to give it a new face to ride on.

Look just beneath the steering wheel as you turn it, if it looks like the steering wheel is rising when you turn to the left, then the bearings in the gear housing are bad (or there are worse problems).

AND yes, follow what john hall has told you, to find out what component has the problem.
