Could be several different problems. Damaged tie rod end linkage, bent alignment components. out of alignment, wheel stops not adjusted properly, bent steering box shaft. You need to have someone put it on a lift and take a good look at it.
check for central position of the rack/ steering box. If there has been recent work on the steering ,it is possible that the box/rack was not in the straight ahead position before it was connected up.
Yes its risky. Dont drive with that noise from clock spring.Its indication of its failure. I believe this is the "clockspring" -- the electrical cable inside the steering column that connects your steering-wheel-mounted electrical controls to the rest of the car. ("Controls" used be just the horn.) The cable wraps around the steering column so it can turn with the steering wheel. Sometimes it starts to rub and squeak.
OK check for any obstruction that might play a part in obstructing free movement of the steering mechanism when turning right. Next compare the ends of the left and right hands end of the steering rack The steering arms are held in the middle of the steering rack ends by a doughnut shaped bush bearing. If this has been damaged the rack will be dragging on the inside of the casing when the steering is turned in one direction. It could be that the end bearing on the left is shot and this is what is obstructing the turn to the right.
The next thing to take care of is the fact that you have the engine stalling under load. This points to an idle speed control problem. Check that the throttle body interior and throttle plate are really clean and that the idle speed control valve on the throttle body is actuating properly. If suspect unbolt and give this a thorough interior clean out.
with the front of the vehicle raised in the air (with jack stands underneath), turn your steering wheel lock to lock, counting how many times the steering wheel does one complete rotation..........halve this number and rotate the steering wheel the opposite way...this will be the approximate middle of the steering rack movement
One important ppoint to note that not all items are built exactly, so you will require a wheel alignment after any change in steering or suspension components to be sure that everything is running true and correct
