It could be your center motor mount. My car was making strange noises almost like a CV joint going bad around corners. Changed the mount and the sound went away.

Insite I think you have it narrowed down to the 2 most likely sources. If you have wheel bearings you've never changed I bet they need it. With your 3.4 I'd keep a close watch (ear?) on the CV joints too!

Oh, I was so glad to see insite posting! I wondered why he didn't already know this. This was before IMSB days!

For brief moment I thought this was a treatise on Mexican food. Guess I've been in Texas too long.
