Top of the struts. Groaning when turning. Spray with lube and give it a try. Spray also under the rubber covers.

i have the same problem, had some guy told me it was the rack and pinion ****... but i wasn't paying attention. I think it's something to do with the struts too. It mainly does it in the morning, and when it's cold so i just give her hell till i get outta the drive way

Did you get a non power sterring rack or just loop the ps system?

There may be air in the system , dirt. I had my 88 Prelude blow a ps hose, had to remove the ps system for a few months. Made that poping noise when it had dirt and air in it

Good luck
