Sometimes when i start my car my steering wheel jerks to the left pretty hard. Also while driving when i push the clutch i can feel the wheel kinda turn left but not too much.

Another thing is sometimes, but becoming more often, when i turn the wheel, driving or not, there is a squealing/grinding noise from my front left wheel. Could these things be related? My power steering pump works fine so im sure its not the problem.

thanks for any help
