97 Boxster with Tiptronic transmission is making a noise while making left hand turns. The car will not create the sound in right turns. It sounds like it is coming from the right rear and almost sounds like splines of the axle grinding (best example I could think of) clunking like. Usually have to be accelerating or making a quick left turn to produce the noise. I have taken it to a shop I trust that does general maintance and tires and they inspected everything and said that the rear bearing doesn't have play, the C.V.s seem like they do not have excessive play, and all the bushings are tight. Any ideas on what this could be? Thank you for the help.
