Hello,

I have a Versa 2010 about 3100 miles. When I turn right at speeds above approx. 15mph there's a rumbling sound on the front left wheel area of the car. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I'm going to take it to the dealer to see if warranty covers it, but I'd like to go prepared with some info. Those guys at the dealership rips everyone off, so it would be good if I knew a little something about what can be wrong.

Thanks

tire rubbing on the plastic inner fender protector? Can you take the tire off and see if it looks like the tire is rubbing anything?

Possibly front left wheel bearing.
Turning right will shift weight to left side, increasing the noise.
May sound more like a grinding noise.
Could have happened when hit nasty pothole or curb or game animal etc on left side.
But someone will have to give it good look-over/test drive/ up on the hoist to get an accurate diagnosis
:ohno:
Maybe left constant velocity joint.
Maybe loose brake caliper.
Had those things go before [ a vw and a Kcar and current van].
Hope it's not serious.
Post back with results!
