Default Hard Steering Turning right only 2001 A8 4.2

exactly what the subject says I have stiff steering turning right only . Left turns a pretty much Normal . What I have done to this point is : Check for leaks None, Clean pump filter it was a little dirty but pumps fluid flow seems strong also after searching some poster suggested air and to drive ,put car in neutral and turn wheel back and forth while coasting and revving engine to 25-3500 rpms that seem to help only briefly I was thinking about a flush but to me it seems that if their is a check type valve in the system it may be having some type of issue but by reading other post with similar symptoms I don't see that changing the rack will have an effect especially since it doesn't show any leaking although that probably means nothing.
If you have had this or similiar problem Please post you findings
Thanks
Greg

Generally a bad rack. Replace it.
