what makes this noise?
started a few days ago, whenever i'm turning left i hear this low groaning or rumbling noise. i thought it was my exhaust hitting the frame but looks like there's enough clearance all around. Wheel bearings?

yes i have power steering, it's not wheel bearing because i jacked it up and shoke the wheel, there was no play. that noise sounds like something is vibrating under the car. A buzz or rattle

a vibration or rattle? I would guess a heat shield that your exhaust may be hitting. Worn engine mounts may cause the exhaust to shift a little when turning maybe?
I asked about power steering because I had a problem in a different car where it would make a groaning whiring noise when I turned the weel. It had something to do with the power steering although I cant remember what.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought shaking the wheel was to test your tie-rod ends. a bad wheel bearing may not be so bad that you can shake the rim around.

Both actually, when it happens i can feel vibration on the floorboard and hear a rumbling or rattling on the passenger side. I thought the exhaust was hitting a heatshield too so i removed the one above the midpipe and one above the header, didn't do a thing. There's one above the resonator which i didn't want to remove because it's supposed to keep heat away from the fuel tank. I'll do some research on the PS noise. I think it's a standard procedure to shake the wheels to test a bad wheel bearing?
