Noise from front passenger when turning @ Low Speeds

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.

Greetings!
I am having an issue with a noise that comes from the right front of my EX35 when turning right at low speeds. It sounds like a loud vibration of sorts, as if I'm driving over a grate or those grooves at the side of a freeway that warn you that you've crossed over the line. The first time I took it in the shop, they said it was an issue with a "kickplate" and that they replaced it. It seems to only sound within the first 10 minutes of driving. I took my car into the shop for the 3rd time, and they could not replicate the problem -- instead, they told me to replace the front brake pads, which I did. When I drove away, it happened again -- but even worse than before I had the brake pads replaced!

Any ideas what this could be? I am not going back to this dealer as they don't seem to know what they're doing. Any help you can give me would be appreciated more than you know!

Check with your dealership if it needs steering rack replacement. There is a recall service for steering rack replacement due to vibration while turning right for 2008 model. I had mine replaced and it`s gone now.
