Default Vibration Noise From Front End

I'm getting a quiet vibration noise (sounds like a fan hitting the edge of plastic cover under the engine) in drive and only when both turning the steering wheel and parking the car. As soon as I put it in park the sounds stops. Anyone have this happen? If so, what was the issue?

That's fairly vague, but COULD be a motor mount issue. Can you see if there is fan contact with the shroud or if it's just that sound? If the engine is shifting enough to allow contact it could be that.

If it's not the fan and it's only happening with wheels at full turn at slow speeds there are a number of other possible culprits. Have you changed the wheel/tire size from OEM?

The wheels/tires are OEM. I just talked to my mechanic who said it may be a motor mount issue. Thanks icon!
