Noise when turning right only
 
Hi all, my 300CE has started making a kind of low droning sound when turning right. It almost sounds like a low pitch horn sound when they are going bad. It only happens when turning right. The sharper the turn the louder the droning sound. I checked power steering fluid, belts, wheel bearings and all are good. Any ideas on the cause of the noise will be appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like it might be a wheel bearing.

Could also be

motor mount
heater blower shaft contacting housing

Is it vehicle speed dependent? Or is it related to the force on the steering wheel? Does it make any sound if you turn the wheel right while not moving?

Hi, sorry for the delay in getting back with a fix. Sure enough as many have suggested, the wheel bearing were loose. They were very loose in fact but not apparent when driving, just when making a right turn. Quickly adjusted per Haynes manual, road tested and the noise was gone.

Thanks
