Any snow under the hood icing things maybe? I know that used to happen to my 04 mountain cat.

Any grease in steering spindles? There's a few spots for grease in the front end that people overlook like I did until I had to fix my tight steering to

Same thing happened to me this weekend took it out of a heated shop onto a cold trailer n went to ride it and it was like trying to steer a tank. Pour some methyl hydrate on your steering components and if there's any ice in there it will melt it out
