HELP! Noise when cornering...ch, ch, ch

My 2000 Se has developed a rubbing sound that pulsates only when taking a left turn at around 25 mph and up. I have 55k on it and original brakes. I looked under and don't see anything rubbing. Also no scraping marks on inside tire wall. Any ideas? Could it just be the brake under side load?
Thx- Slothead

Do you hear any noises when the car is parked and you turn the wheel lock to lock?

I has a similar occurance happen to me a few months ago after my dealer service my car. It sounded like a rubbing noise occasionally I turned a low speeds.

I returned it back to the dealer to check. they were able to emulate it byt turn at around 25mph and slightly breaking but had no idea what it was. they told me to leave it.

I drove it around turns and hard breaked whenever i turned for 15 minutes or so after and then it dissappear.

It has been gone since. My front brakes and pad were a few months so I suspect in may case that the pads may have become slightly loose when the dealer check them. i am not sure but you may want to check yours.

Cheers,
Hankto

I don't hear it when turning wheel standing still. Sounds like a rubbing that only happens under side load...

Excuse me for the wording below as I am not a car expert.

One other thought, since I has a very similar occurance, no noise when my car was still as well. I did bump the bottom my bumper quite hard before the occurance and the plastic around my right wheel well was jammed against the inside fender of the car. I dislodged it recently with just a push of my hand, don;t know if this was related as the noise of my car was long gone before that dislodgement.

Cheers,

Hankto,
I recently scraped the underbody due to poor roadway construction and the car developed creaking noises whenever I applied the brake. I had the mechanic retorque all the bolts/nuts on the suspension (under the car) and the noises are no longer there.
