So it will turn to the right fine, but not to the left?

Check the fluid first but more then likely it is the rack.

I'm having the same problem!
if the car has been parked for 6+ hours, when i turn it on and try to wiggle the steering wheel, it's really hard, specially turning it to the left! after that, thing will gradually get back to normal.
also when 1st trying to turn it, i would hear like a pop sound when turning it to the left and right while still parked
