Default UCF20 , steeing wheel not smooth

Just few days back this started, am having a problem with the steering wheel, it does not turn smoothly, i have already installed brand new steering wheel pump since one year and i had checked steering fluid level, which is full/ok, while turning the steering wheel it does not turn smoothly and also it does return poor. There is no wining sound or anything!?
What could be wrong!? any idea!?

I believe that there is a filter in the steering rack that can get clogged. Perhaps someone here with more experience can chime in
