well after replacing the right front wheel bearing , axle shaft and strut bearing the noise while turning left still was there . went to an oil change place for an oil change . usually these guys are not much more than oil change guys . but struck up a conversation with the guy doing the service . I told him what I had done that did not fix my problem . I had a suspicion of what it was and he found the problem . took two people to find it , one behind the steering making the noise and someone under the hood to observe . the passenger side motor mount was deteriated enough to allow the pulley on the ac compressor to hit the body . replaced the mount and all is good . so far been a good little car with about 120k miles on it ....
