Default Steering problem??

Tonight I was backing out of a parking space. Front wheels turned hard and rolling slowly, I felt and heard a clump, about 4 times in the time I backed out. I also felt this in the steering wheel. Don't know what it could be. I turned the wheel in both directions rolling slowly and again at full turn felt and heard this. Anything other that full turn, no noise, no feel. I thought could it be loose wheel lug/lugs? I don't feel anything wrong when driving down the road, hitting small bumps, no noise, no feel. It just hit 20 degrees today, so everything is f'n cold. Tire pressure little low 29 psi. Any guesses? Taking to shop in the morning. All stock, wheels and tires sizes. Bone stock everything. 80k miles.

Thanks

It may be the sharp & slow rate of turn combined ....then the tires kinda skip on the road.
My trailer does the same when I turn it too sharp
