Default wierd sound at very tight turn + acceleration

Hey all,
My car makes a weird sound when I am accelerating through a very tight turn. Sounds almost as if the front wheel is rubbing against the inner housing but I checked the car and it's not. Any idea what it could be?

Check the power steering fluid level, then take a look at the cv boots. Make sure their are no cracks/tears in the cv boots.

Just because the boot looks good does NOT mean the CV joint is good. It still could be, and probably is, your problem.
