Default steering problems

the problem is that, when turned the steering left, everything is fine, but when i turned to the right, for a short time is heavily turning the steering wheel, after 1-2 seconds everything is fine. this problem is only when i turnig right form eny steering position, what that can it be steering pump, steering rack, or air in system?

Steering rack ... a separate hydraulic pressure chamber for each turning direction.

You could try a fluid flush to free up the shuttle-**** valve inside the rack, but no guarantee.
