Default HELP! Strange noise

I have been noticing this strange noise coming from my passenger side wheel well. If im just sitting somewhere and move my wheels left or right, i hear it. I hear it in 1st gear a lot, sometimes in 2nd. Other than that, i don't hear it. Its like a vibration noise, sure doesn't sound good...

My wife had a similar issue with her VW passat and it turned out to be the wheel bearings went bad on her right wheel or something. It sounded like loud rubbing/vibration noise when she was at a stop and made a SHARP right turn. Good luck!

Its a vibrating rattle. I dont feel it in the steering wheel, i only hear that annoying / pretty loud rattling noise coming from my passenger side wheel well.

Yesterday, i came to a complete stop and turned my steering wheels both ways a LITTLE bit and i heard it both times.

Is your car still under factory warranty?
If so, take it to the dealership and have them take a looksy.

Does it affect the feel of the car in any way? other than just the noise? Do you have any suspension, or brake mods done in that area? Have you done a visual inspection to see if anything appears to be out of place?

The car just feels a bit jerky but smooths out quick. The only suspension mods in that area are the sportlines.

Could your LT's be rubbing the steering shaft somehow so that when you turn the wheel it transfers the noise from the LT's through the steering linkage?

Did you take your car to the dealership yet??
If so, let us know what the issue was.
I am curious myself.
