Audible (rubbing?) noise when hard cornering to the left

Good afternoon!
I could not find anything on this subject (if there are already posts, please point me in the right direction), but my 1996 S420 w/ 135,000 miles is making a funny noise when I corner hard to the left (i.e. turning left while accelerating and/or moving fast). The noise does not show up when turning to the right (hard or otherwise). It seems like the sound is coming from the front passenger side (which makes sense, the stress on the suspension/tires etc. would be on the passenger side when turning the vehicle left). The noise does not appear to be there when turning left at parking lot speeds or regular turns from a stop sign/light etc.

Has anyone encountered this and if so, how were you able to fix it (or what was the case/fix)?

Likewise, I do my own maintenance on my S420 and look forward to contributing where I can to the forum.

Thank you so much.
All Best Wishes,
Steve
