Default Catching whirring sound on turning right

Hi Guys,

I've had this annoying problem for a while now, as soon as I turn right I hear a whirring catching sound like "wuddah wuddah wuddah".

It alomost does it when driving straight, it's driving me mental now, any ideas!?

Thanks in advance,

Mitch.

2 Questions.

1) Are your tires all of the same size ?

2 ) Did you lower your car ?

It sounds like something from your tire wheel walls might be broken or slightly bulged out for that kind of sound. Or if you're car's like really stopping hard while turning right , it might be faulty brakes but I don't know if brakes do such kind of things. It's never happened to me.

Hi guys, thanks so much for the replies!

So how do I check the bearings?
And what are the plastic wheel covers?

It cu;ld well be a bulged tyre also, blimey will have to have a good look, as it happens when turning right, does this mean the problem is likely on the right or left!?!? I know it sounds silly but obviosuly as you turn right it uts more weight on the left!?

If anyone could tell me how/ehee to check myself this would be so helpful, thanks for your time.

Mitch.

Wheel well covers are the covered areas just behind your wheels. Use a torch light and see for any irregularities. Or try pushing inside with your hand see if it's bend. Also see if any of your tires are bulging , try even going under your car and see if something is stuck between the suspension and tires. Make sure your hand brake is On and your transmission is on P also while doing this.

Yes when you take a sharp right turn the extra g force / body roll occurs on the left side but from where are you exactly getting the noise. You need to zero in on that first.
