When I move the wheel to the right it locks up and cannot move.

Can anyone offer suggestions on this problem? It is definitely not the
pump.

Thanks.

It would help if we knew what vehicle it was. For example, on some models
it could be the u-joints on the steering column, but these are not on all
Landrovers. It could be a collapsed swivel bearing or a broken u-joint in
the swivel.

check the bracket/guard thats bolted to rear side of front diff , where the
rear drag link passes through , it may be rubbing hard when steering is at
full lock .

also check the steering damper when its fully extended to see if the shroud is
not loose and contacting the shock absorber housing , although i dont think
they fully extend out that far its still worth looking at .
check oil level in swivel hosings , make sure CV joints are well oiled .
