i inflated my tires a few days ago and now the steering wheel feels stiffer turning to the left and it seems looser turning to the right. anyone know what the problem is. and sometimes when you turn the wheel a little bit to the right it doesnt turn unless your turn it more

If one tire have more air than the other, it could cause your steering to feel lopsided you like described. This is due to the fact that one tire is larger in diameter than the other, making it so the tire has to travel farther to complete one rotation.

THOUGH... the pressure difference has to be pretty far apart to notice something like that.

Your problem sounds more like a worn tie rod end, or rack and pinion.

sounds like a rack and pinion to me, had those same symptoms.

basically, after you make a turn, it will tend to "bind" to one side, so say you were making a left, then go straight, the steering wheel will return to the normal position, but then you make a right turn, then straight, now the steering wheel will sit crooked to one side, and if you jerk your steering wheel the opposite way, it will return to the neutral position, but the car will not jerk when that happens. Hope you kinda got my point.
