This is my wife's car and she says now that it appears the alignment is off, due to pulling to the right, steering wheel off alignment, pointed to the right. Nothing has been hit, that she has reported. The odd thing is a weird growl sound from inside the car (more of a ticking when outside the car), but only at low speeds mostly with the wheel to one side or the other. The tie rod ends and bearings appear okay. It almost appears the sounds is coming from the CV to transmission mount area where the sound originates from.

I have zero experience with front wheel drives to determine if it is the CV or transmission.

Have wheel bearing and axle checked from the sound of it that is what it is. She may have hit something like a curb and not said anything especially with the wheel being not in center. Also, have front end checked like alignment they will be able to tell and most places will not align if something is wrong and no charge to check it.

Okay thanks. I was leanings towards it not being the bearing since the noise is not present above twenty mph and no difference while going through curves.
