Groaning on a HARD right turn

Nver heard this before and Only heard twice the other day and not again since.

Right turn say on an off ramp or on ramp, kinda fast, 50-60, a vibration/groaning from the back, right wheel... I have no idea what it was..I heard it twice and NOT at all since it happend ??? its a groaning./vibration that you can actually feel in your seat...Im not lowered all that much, Eibach/AGX, but it came as a surprise cause I havent heard it at all...

I am clueless

sorry I didnt read that. Do you have wheel spacers in the rear? I had this problem when I got new tires. The tires actually rubbed against the strut. Then I got spacers and they rubbed against the rear wheelwells. About a month later the noise was gone.

I had problem very similar to this. When I turned left, I would get a groan coming one of the rear wheels. I couldnt figure it out for a while and it ended up being seized calipers. After driving for a while, feel the wheel for heat and see if you notice a difference between the two rear wheels.

ebrake is integrated into the brake calipers in the rear, mine used to make groaning sound after being parked for a long time with the ebrake up, esp in the rain/sleet/snow. i think it was rust build-up. my buddy had something like that too, but he had to replace rear bearing. everything is fine now.

I had similar problem, monitored it for about 6 months, then began to occur more often, ended up being front wheel bearing. Since your problem is from the back I would get all 4 wheel bearings checked.
