Strange noise when turning left-right

Dear Forum Members,

First of all I would like to thank you guys for all the support and advices you are providing. I have to admit, if this forum didn't exist I would have sold my Boxster long ago, or would have gone banckrupt trying to find out various problems. But you guys here are very helpful. So thank you....

The new problem which appeared quite recently is a noise coming from a front side, when I make left or right turn. The strange thing is that, it does it only when you make a hard turn, like U turn or 90 degree turn, and accelerate.

When I drive normally, change the lane, or slow speed turning no problems. But if I am turning left or right from the stop, kicking down the throttle the strange sound come out.

I will try to describe what I mean by strange sound. It sounds like bad bearing but more kicking noise... like db db db dbdb... as soon as I straightn the car, the sound goes away.

I spotted, that sounds is coming out when the car leans a bit, I mean when one makes turn a bit hard to the left, the load goes to the right tire and thats when the sounds comes up. It also sounds like, the tire is coming of the wheel, and it is just an wheel on the ground for few seconds. But checked. and this does not seems to be a problem.

I had a car to the shop to check it at least three times. Everthing is tight and all works great. there is nothing suspecios. I have checked balance of the tires, and the specialist told me, that something is wrong with my tires. Despite the fact the look great, they can not get balanced. They are difformated.

Could this be the reason for the sound? Or should I check something else?
