If it was with your power steering, it wouldn't come and go, it would be a constant noise or issue. Although it wouldn't hurt to get back there and top off your fluid. The power steering is an out of sight out of mind deal with its location.

^^ It may not be a direct problem with the power steering but it sounds like something is bogging the motor causing the alternator to bog as well.

But back to the issue. Thought maybe your wheel bearings were goin out but you replaced the hubs and that wouldnt explain the dimming lights.

When does it happen most often? Driving straight lines our turning corners? And does it do it when you just turn your wheel all the way each direction while sitting still?

question not intended for me but il put in my 2 cents. This noise also happens with my car at about 2 mph. then later at around 20 or 30 (randomly) but its only for a half or full second, then again randomly when i turn the wheel to park or sometimes even to change lanes. The problem is amplified with the turn of the wheel be it slight or drastic. I have to notice if it dims out my lights at night though..
