For the past two weeks now my 2004 Nissan maxima has been making this horrible noise. it only happens when I turn the wheel to the right when I turn to the left nothing. the power steering and everything is working fine its just when I take a right turn my car just makes the loudest noise. This noise is coming from the front left side of my car. thanks.

I couldn't tell you even if you sent a video a lot of times you have to go by feel. look for grease by axle if you see grease there from a busted boot replace it. but have apro check it.

I just checked how to check a bad wheel bearing and the sound it will make. And mine doesn't feel bad. And when I drive the noise is only when I am turning at low speeds and a wheel bearing looks like its at higher speeds like 30-40

Any other ideas?
