Default 2003 1500 Suburban steering issue

hello,

new guy here. found this forum looking for a resolution to my issue, but have been unable to find one.

My 2003 has 147k on it and when I turn to the right the steering whines, no clunks or vibrations and is not stiff like the speed sensitive sensor issue. the power steering fluid level is good, does leak a little but i check once a week and fill as needed. turning left is no issue, might whine a little but not like when I turn it to the right. truck recently had a front end alignment and all hardware checked out good.
if the truck is at idle in park and i hold the wheel to the right, maybe a 1/2 to 3/4 turn of the wheel, the wheel has a slow steady pulse in my hand.

any help would be appreciated!

thanks.
