Grunting Noises While Turning

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

I've been noticing this for a year but I haven't told the Infiniti Service dept yet.

Whenever I turn into another road, I can hear this weird grunting noise for about 2 - 3 seconds. However, it doesn't alway happen. It is usually when I corner a little faster than usual.

Has any one else noticed the same problem?

most likely its the junk tires that are on the EX, Dunlops are useless and wear very strangely no one want to take blame on this matter.. i will be replacing mine soon with some toyos, they manufacture a luxury tire with very low road noise. I put them on my dads car (MB E320) i was very impressed quieter then the OEM tire.

Punjab... we've discussed the goofy Tire-Wear problems in other Threads. I too agree that the Dunlops are crappy Tires... but they can be made tolerable and quieter by rotating the Tires often.

I also think the OP's problem is the defective Steering Rack.
