There is no noise associated with the issue that I have noticed. It hasn't always been extremely cold either, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. It also doesn't do it all the time. Not sure how to approach this, just bought it and hoping for the best.

make sure nothing in the steering linkage is binding up on turns. make sure the pressure is correct for the system. have it flushed out and new fluid added.
