Power Steering

Power Steering
I recently had my power steering replaced about 6 months ago after an accident. Recently I have noticed that it feels twitchy. It actually feels like a power steering system that is low on fluid but I realize ours is an electric motor.
On pavement stopped with engine running and slowly turning the wheel is when its most noticable. It feels like you turn the wheel and the power is struggling to keep up, like a half inch lag.
When driving around 50 any notches or grooves in the road seem to agitate it also.
I just checked my power and it was ~11v off and a steady 12v with the engine running. Isn't it supposed to be around 14v running? Maybe this could be causing my sluggish steering.

The steering torque sensor probably needs to be reset:

I honestly think the sluggish steering is because my alt is only putting out
12v. Does anyone else think this could be the culprit or am I alone?
