Question Notchy Steering

Hello all,

So I started my 2009 370z up the other morning and started my daily commute...Anyways about 5 minutes into the drive I noticed that when I turn left/right(but is worse on the left turns) the steering wheel doesn't return smoothly to the center position. Right at about 30 mph if you steer left then go back to center I feel a notchyness, almost like something is hanging up on the wheels/steering components. The weird thing is when you start to go faster you don't feel this really at all...

I checked PS fluid it is full, wheels are torqued properly, all components on the both knuckles are tight...

I am perplexed by this what else could it be? Could it be an alignment issue or do I need a new steering rack?
