There is a bearing that can fail, and cause the steering to lock in one place, or as in your case, just go one way. Do NOT try to drive it somewhere, as it is possible to have it totally lock in one position. Think pretty hard about fixing this yourself. I suspect you will be in over your head fairly quickly, and a steering system is no place to try out your skills.

You will not be able to replace the lower collar bearing without special equipment. Changing the entire unit is your best bet.
