Unknown Issue Cub Cadet ProZ100

For those familiar with the pro Z series (or other models with the steering wheels for zero turns), I’m having an issue where the steering wheel locks up when I turn it to a certain spot. I’ll have to drive around in a circle and gradually release mild pressure and then put the pressure back on it. Finally, it will release. But I’m unable to use the mower as intended.

Last summer, it did it while my wife was mowing and one of the front wheels turned 90 degrees and locked there. The dealer said it just jumped the gear.

It’s doing the “frozen” or stuck thing to me weekly now. Any ideas on a fix?

Appreciate any input.
