Hi this is first time on this thread, I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. I replaced the front pinion bearings which is a dana 44. Now I'm experiencing the steering locking up mainly when I try to turn right sometimes when I turn to the left also. I removed the stabilizer shock, I replaced the steering box, I took the steering rod off to make sure the u-joints were not siezed up. Thank you in advanced for any help!!
Replaced front pinion bearings now steering locking up

The front pinion bearings should have nothing to do with the steering. The pinion bearings are behind the u-joint yoke where the driveshaft connects.
As @BLACKJKU said, the pinion bearing has nothing whatsoever to do with steering. I'd look into the steering components, starting with the steering shaft and working out.

Potentially damaged the locker?
Jack it up and spin the wheels.
I agree the pinion bearings should not effect steering.
