Rumble, Grinding noise when turning left only. No noise or vibration when driving straight or right turns. Some noises when going over bumps.

I've had the issue resolved and in my searches found dozens of others with the same issue so I wanted to make a thread to talk about this. Took my car to the shop today and they revealed it all for no charge.

It's the exhaust hitting and vibrating the cross member. So happy to find out today it wasn't the CV joints, bearings, none of that. This is how you can test if your own noise is just the exhaust rubbing.

Find a big empty parking lot. Turn left with some speed. Put car in neutral, if this lessens the noise, rev up some, if the noise follows RPM then its the exhaust. I also did some testing where I would go into neutral in curves while driving and it almost eliminated the noise. This now explains all my symptoms so well.

 

Coulda been a tire rubbing the fender liner.

The noise when I turn left only is not grinding, but rubbing vibration thru the steering column! Any ideas? Checked fluid and clearances.
