Default stcky steering

ive been having a problrem i searched but came up with nothing i might be wording it wrong tho. so heres the problem i have 17" zo6 wheels in the front and 18"ers in the rear and whenever im making a turn from a stop and im on the gas a little bit the steering wants to stick and keep pulling me towards whichever way im turning and i kinda have to jerk the wheel to get it straight again does anybody else have this problem? is there a cure? maybe getting a cooler on there for the power steering pump i did see a thread not to long ago about that but never read too much into cuz it didnt happen with the stock 16s on any info would be greatly appreciated thanks

check your motor and tranny mount while your at it. used to have the same problem and the header tube was hitting the steering shaft basically locking the steering wheel. Once I let off the gas I could turn.

the good thing is that the trans mount was shot and i had that fixed today im picking the car back up after i get off work so hopefully that was the problem if not i think im gonna get that cooler for the steering pump and then go from there
