    got a nice "rroo rroo rroo" sound when turning right...

    so yea, conditions...

    after 30mph
    wheels have been re-aligned and balanced just in case (40$ lost there)
    only the right (turning the wheel to the right)
    and comes from the right front wheel from what I can tell...
    unless it coming too from the rear one...
    car drives straight


    I'm thinking along the lines of CV joints...

    Sounds like the CV boot is ripped or worst case scenario, you have a bad wheel bearing. You can check if it's the bearing by jacking up the front and while the wheel is unsprung, you shake the wheel from side to side. It should not give much if at all. If it does, it's a bad bearing. And if it's bad, replace it right away before it starts to damage the hub.

    You're saying that if the wheel moves left to right its the bearing? When I checked out my suspension this weekend, my car has alot of play left to right, and slight play up and down on one side.

    Yeah. It will have play when shaking it from left to right. It has play up and down too? Better get a quote and have a mechanic check that out really quick. I'm almost positive that's a bad wheel bearing. Your hub might very well be shot as well. My fix for the driver's side was around 250 bucks.

    Good to hear that. :) The parts aren't too expensive. Just the labor is, but that shouldn't be a problem for you. Good luck.

    lol these car sounds make so much sense to the person describing it, but to the person listening to the explanation? Well i think we come off as silly.

    I hate imitating sounds I hear to other people lol.
