Coil Bind or Steering Spring Bind?

**Also posted this in General**
At todays track day my car started making a very strange sound. It sounds like coil bind but it feels and sounds like it may be coming from the center of the car near around firewall. Initially it sounded like it came from a shock but as the day went on it seemed to move.

I noticed it mostly when I came off track and it was a hot day, mid 90s. It seemed to only be present after a session and would go away if the car sat and cooled down.

I did several small circles and was able to get it to repeat for a little bit after a session but every time I got out to inspect it and got back in it would go away. I checked both of the front coils and nothing was obviously loose.

No other steering symptoms like the known steering problem in the 17s. The only symptom i got was the "boinngg" sound as i turned the wheel to pull back in the paddocks and back into my space.

The car is a last 2018 ZLE on it's 3rd season of tracking.

How do I go about confirming that or checking that? Pull the strut?
