noise from suspension. not the common clunking or squeaking

under decently hard left turns, i get a umm...hmm?...hard to type sounds. maybe could describe it as a "wobble" noise? it has a deep rumbling sound.

i wouldnt describe as a clunk, it has no definable peak of the sound, just dull consistent, quick, "warbles". and its definitly not a squeak.

it only happens when turning left at some speed, and it seems to be coming from the passenger front area.

i searched for something similiar, but all the threads described clunking noises, mostly from the rear, or squeaks.

any ideas? i know nothing of how suspension works, or even the correct names of the components. looks like ill have to learn

Check your wheel bearings.

Also check RF tire for tread separations (bulges) or uneven tread wear. Did you just rotate your tires?

no. tires are brand new,but so am i to the car. i really doubt this noise is tires. i should probably check the lug nuts, as well as any other component you guys mention.

also, i believe everything suspension related is original on the car.

I'd try to limit how much you drive it until you get it narrowed down. Any of the things the others mentioned can lead to more serious issues if not dealt with.
