Noise while turning?

Hey All, I wanted to see if you all had an intermittent noise when turning. This seems to happen when truck is just started, and usually happens when making the first or second left turn from my house. Almost always when cold, not meaning if I drove for a while and re started. It's been in twice, and to two different dealers with the same explanation. "We can't duplicate noise". And now the power steps are going in/out probably 4 times after I close door..... I called dealer to check if any recalls, they said no. BS! I called the a number off a website and three different recalls were done on my truck.

Don't these MF dealers have to disclose recalls? The selling dealer said recall VO7 (steering ground strap) , VO4 (power pedals) were done April 1, and recall V61 (occupant restraining module) done July 31.... I bought truck November 12, and I was not told anything. And now today I seen a website that says a recall for the power steering pump, but not to call FCA until Jan 3, 2020. WTF?

Is this a 5.7 or a 5.7 Etorque. The 5.7 1500 doesn't have a power steering pump or at least mine doesn't. Now I don't know about the Etorque.

I have the same issue but only when turning to the right. Have a service appointment to replace the “power steering pump” (dealers terminology ) on the 18th. They did say it included the rack & pinion. Will report back with detailed info on replacement and results after I test it out. Mine happens hot or cold under certain situation. 5.7 Hemi and no issues with power steps.
