Default 92 prelude, right front wheel seems to be locking up

I just recently changed my right cv joint and had no probs for a couple weeks. If i jack up the right side first i cant turn the right wheel, but if i jack up just the left and turn the left side wheel, it turns. Now if i jack up the whole front both wheels turn, as if it had positract or something. And on the turns the car pops like hell and seems like the right wheel is skidding. Any thoughts, please help, maybe tranny problem?

how much? nearest figure i can give you is Expensive.

You use a hydraulic press to insert or remove the central hub from the steering knucles. and the bearings are pressed in between the two.

they are only about $50 at a pepboys or somewhere else like that, getting it out is going to be a bitch, if you are going to do it yourself you might just want to replace the whole hub, if you dont press the bearing in 100% correct the first time you will replace it again a few weeks later, belive me I just had to on my teg a few days ago, also if you dont have access the the press or a bearing splitter or know a machine shop or someone who does its not happining.
