Sound when turning the steering wheel

I get this weird wooshing sound when I make turns. Kinda sounds like the wheel bearings are going bad but this only happens when I turn. Any idea's on what's wrong? Thanks in advance for the help.

I have the same problem except it sounds kind of like a grinding hum. Its the pads rubbing against the rotors. It drives me nuts!

will this cause any problems in the future? should i get it fixed? and will the dealer fix it under warranty because they installed the pads?

They might if you are lucky. My guess would be no. There should not be any long term effects....except insanity If I were you Id buy some of that antisqueel sticky spray and pull the pads off and spray the backs of the pads with it so they will stick to the caliper piston better and hopefully eliminate that sound. I'm going to try this myself as I did not have any when I replaced my front pads so Im going for that next.
