Your steering stabalizer mount somehow moved on the tie rod.
When you turn to the right the stabalizer is bottoming out and therefore won't let you turn all the way.
Get under it loosen the bolts that hold it to the tie rod and have a buddy turn the wheel all the way right and hold the stabalizer so that it can allow the wheel to turn without fully compressing. Then tighten it back up, and test to make sure it'll go all the way left and then you should be good.

X2 same thing happened to a guy I recently wheeled with.
Is it pretty easy to fix?

Remove it and see if your steering is back to normal. If so you can drive without a steering stabilizer or order a replacement.

If you do end up replacing it, get a relocation bracket, so you don't dent it again.
I was thinking if I replace. It's prolly worth it to get a pcs pump

A PSC pump? Are you saying you're going to do hydro assist or just a more powerful steering pump?

That video doesn't show where the dent would be... But you can tell that it's binding up .. Did you try removing it yet?

I really would get one on sooner rather than later. Hit a pot hole or bump in the road going 60mph without a stabilizer can throw you across lanes.

Also, most of the guys on here recommend replacing it with a stock steering stabilizer... Some aftermarket ones can cause your jeep to pull to one side, While the stock one is just right.
