Steering Issue

Ran into an issue today with steering. This only happened at low speed or stopped. When turning the steering wheel either way more than one full revolution it sounded like a rub with a vibration in the driver floor pan. Nothing big or a grinding issue. Anyone else ever experienced this. Dont think its a wheel bearing issue.

Its a two wheel drive truck. Sounds almost like it is sucking air when I turn it quick.

No not really just a moan like there is air in the system once every full revolution of the wheel.

After further research I think I solved it. The resivoir was a little low, not past the dipstick but none the less topped it off and everything seems fine. Lets hope it stays that way. Thanks for the help.
