    So i notice recently that when I turn it makes a sound like it touched something inside.
    It's randome notice when you move right and left.
    Sometimes when I turn and leave the wheel it doesn't go by it self to straight. I need to do it.

    What can it be?

    1 it started after my car got towed.
    2 a week be4 I changed a water pump.
    3 power steering fluid is full

    Is it alignment ?
    Or something else?

    Do u hear any "whine" coming from the power steering pump that change with engine rpm. Or when u turn ur steering wheel is there a "squealing" noise or anything out of the ordinary
