Answer
Hi Sean,

do you mean the drag link bar is bent?  I don't know if that would prevent you from making turns unless it is bent so bad that it brushes against another component.

My first guess would be to disconnect the drag link and see if the steering is stiff. IF it is not, then check your steering ball joints or axel swivels.  If the drag link is remove and your steering is stiff, then you have have a steering column problem.

Best of luck,
