Power steering scratch when fully extended?

I can't for the life of me remember what the deal is when this happens, and I couldn't find it using the search. When I crank the wheel all the way to max the PS pump gives off a terrible scratch/grind sound. Everything is fine with the system but this grinds my nerves. What is this???

its normal, and you shouldn't hold it at the full lock. This is true on ALL power steering systems.
