Doesn't sound too much like a caliper issue as it only does it sometimes. Calipers issues usually only happen if you're either on the break or not on the break but it's constant.

Sounds like rack & pinion to me. Is your power steering pump noisey when you turn the wheel?

Where are you located?

And did you turn the wheel back and forth with teh fluid cap off?

How do your tires look? Camber'd real bad? Big ass wheels?

roy let me look at the car tommorrow when you get out of school. Most likely the rack and pinion may have a loose or bad bushing.. Or the passenger axle may be going bad.
