I second that, sounds like a wheel bearing

Hi.

I have avibration when I turn left around a left-hand bend. Sometimes I hear a noise, like a rub. It only does it when turning left. It will NOT do it when turning sharp. Also, if I jerk my steering wheel left and right, I hear a glunk under the car.

any ideas??>

as for your noise, I doubt it is the CV joint b/c it would most likely make noise while turning. Wheel bearings sometimes shut up when braking under load, so light braking would make them noisier.

intrique420, i would agree with the wheel bearing being the probable cause
