Default Car shakes/stutters when I turn the steering wheel to full lock when car is started

I'm wondering what's going on and not sure if it's my PS pump, the belt or just low on fluid. Anyhow, when I start up my car ('98 A4 1.8T Tip) and turn the steering wheel as if to pull out of a parallel parking spot, the car shakes a little but only if I have the steering wheel all the way to the bump stop (doesn't matter if it's left or right). I don't think this is normal but I'm wondering what it could be and how I can fix it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Use 11S power steering fluid if needed. Back off from full lock
on the steering.
