Default grinding noise when turning

Hello-

I get a strange grinding noise and feel when I move the car in a turning motion, like pulling into or out of a parking spot. This is not during braking, just driving. Seems to go away if I get up to speed, but maybe I just can't hear it then.

Would that possibly be a driveshaft support problem, or would the steering rack act that way?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Steering fluid low?
Is it like a chattering?

It is somewhat like a chattering, although it's not loud, and I only really feel/hear it when I am parking/maneuvering. I'll check on the fluid- now that you mention it, it does sound/feel like a power steering issue- had that before in other cars...

There was an upgrade loop that was supposed to take away the shuttering.

Can you explain what you mean by "upgrade loop"?

If you look under the car behind the front bumper on the drivers side you will see 2 metal pipes that are in like a box. That is a steering cooler. Then remade it and also have a rubber line that runs and loops over to by the oil filter. This gives the fluid more travel and takes teh vibration away 90% of the time.
