Have the front end steering joints and suspension checked by an accredited front end specialist. Check the wheel bearings and cv joints for serviceability. Although you say it is only occasionally it is a critical issue as on any occasion it may place you or others in harms way.
have the valve body checked in the rack and pinion unit of the steering as there may be contaminant affecting the seating of a directional valve. I did suggest a specialist front end shop but with you latest input I now recommend an accredited steering specialist shop for valve check and pressure test
thank you for your insights
