When I turn my wheel right or left without accelleration, I feel a knocking. When driving and turning, this does not happen. Could this be my power steering pump? I did a little research and I know this is a complex system. I just want to narrow it down a little before I take it in to my mechanic.

Noises are sometimes the most difficult thing to diagnose. But if they can hear the same noise you hear, the job is much easier. Good Luck.
