Can you get a recording of this because I think this would be an issue with the clockspring but normally they make a clicking noise when turning. Here is a guide that will help with this:

However, if there is a grinding noise and the steering is sticking then the other likely cause is the pump. Here is a guide that will help with the replacement if this is what it turns out to be but these two issues are very different so a recording will help figure this out. Thanks
