thanks for your help.

No idea but my miata is doing the same thing with left turns..

I'd suspect a wheel bearing first, but also check the CV joints... Coming from the front or the back? High speed turns, or low speed ones?

jf951

both hi and low speed but maybe when more when under throttle. thanks! i forgot about cv joints, now that i think about it sounds like my 85 jetta use to sound when the cv joints were about to go.

If it's a grumbling-like noise, quite likely a rear wheel bearing (tends to be louder when loaded under acceleration or cornering).

Raise the end of the car making the noise and spin the wheel. If the wheel makes some rumbling noise, it's probably the wheel bearing.

If its a scraping noise i would check the backing plates for clearance from brake rotor.

I have the same issue, more noisy when turns in gear or neutral. I've change the front wheel bearings, no use. I suspect the noise came from clutch hosuing or rear end.

I had this same "problem" right after reading this. Turns out one of my wheel spacer lug nuts had completely unscrewed and was rattling inside the wheel spacer...
Scary stuff but at least it was a cheap fix.

had the same thing on the volvo, it was the heat sheild. right after i did the brakes, i bent the shield by accident

CV joints most likely. Stand outside the car and have someone do slow tight turns to hear for the clicking.
