Low groaning/ rubbing sound when turning right

Everytime i make a right turn at anything over 5 mph theres a low groaning or rubbing sound. Not sure what is it. I suspect it could be my tires rubbing on something but i checked and i dont see anything that could cause the rubbing. Anyone experience the same problem??

The simplest thing is the jack up the front of the car and check to make sure your wheels aren't loose. Then put the car back down and torque the lug nuts to ~75 ft-lbs.

It could also be a problem with the bearings in your left (I think) wheel hubs. Unfortunately the whole hub would need to be replaced (again, I think).

But I'm sure there are other ideas.

I would check the following on the side that is making the noise..

Tie Rods
Suspension bushings
tires
Lug Bolts (are they tight?)
Wheel bearings
