Weird steering wheel issue

Hey everyone,

I've searched and can't find anyone with an issue like this in particular, and it's not real serious - the car seems to drive / handle just fine. Only at low speeds does this occur, but when I turn the wheel in parking lots, etc., it makes a weird kind of a click noise and you can feel a slight bump in the steering wheel. It also makes this high pitch squeak / noise (not that loud though) when turning the wheel either direction, again only when I'm doing parking lot speeds. I don't see how the suspension is bad, the car handles just as it should (very well), but it's been doing this for a while now. It's a 9 with Swift Spec R springs, but this minor issue was present even when the car was on fully stock springs & struts. Any ideas..? Any input is much appreciated, thanks!

CV, Ball Joint, Tie Rod End, Tire rubbing, spring moving on the perch

All pretty easy to inspect and check

If it makes noise I say its something to do with the pump. Maybe the belt is slipping.
