Default Weird feeling in steering. A little help?

So, I have searched and searched and cannot really find exactly what is happening with my tC1.

Ive got 64k on the clock and about a month ago I started to notice that when I am turning to the right and then straightening the wheel out I feel a little "pop" in the steering wheel. Only happens when I am turning from right to straight, and while moving (whether the car is under power or just coasting while off). Doesn't make a sound...just a "pop" feeling in the steering wheel.

So, I have done a few quick visuals such as the 12 & 6 grip and shake for the wheel bearings, and have checked to see if the tie rods were lose, and checked for any out of place grease or fluids...nothing. I do need new brakes though.

Any thoughts on what this could be and what it would take to fix this annoying problem?

Thanks in advance!!

I have posted this before. Someone replied it could be the intermediate steering shaft. I feel it in mine too. It's not a Cv joint cuz you can actually hear CV joints pop. I feel a tick in my steering as well
