Steering Rack wearing out?

Recently Ive noticed that when I turned Hard Right as slower speeds I began to feel some vibration through the steering collum and didnt really thing of it..

Now im noticing it more and sometimes on a similar low speed left turn.

This is all noticed in parking lots at slow speeds. The best way I can describe it is almost like a harmonic vibration that can be felt through the shaft and on the steering wheel.

Anyone had this one before?

First thing that comes to mind is the alignment is off a bunch or cupping on the tires.

Keeping in mind this is occuring at 2-5mph..... The tires IMO are new and I wouldnt think would be a variable...

Could also be a bad power steering pump or sensor.

I guess the only thing to do here Is let the problem get worse to clearly identify the source...
