I can speak from experience on my LF38. Your problem is most likely a misalignment in the upper rudder bearing--the one mounted right below the helm mounted with 4 bolts. The correction is probably best performed out of the water. Simply loosen the four bolts & move the bearing until the steering frees up then tighten the mounting bolts.
If this is not the problem I would add grease to the grease cup on the rudder shaft.
