just tighten the belt a little & check to make sure theres enough fluid in the res, its nothing serious just a lack of pressure that makes it lumpy.

when on full lock the load on the power steering pump is at is maximum.
The pressure of the oil is limited inside the pump this does make some sound. sounds like water running. this is normal.
But it could also be that the additional load on the pump makes the belts slip due to a inadequate tension (like mentioned in previous post)
