Windstar front end noise.

I have an '01 Windstar and it recently started to make a buzzing/rubbing sound in the right front corner. It only happens when I make a left turn and it doesn't always make the noise. I've checked around the wheel well area and can't find signs of anything rubbing. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like you have a wheel bearing starting to go bad.

I wouldn't rule out the wheel bearing, but I had a similar problem that guadually got worse. Turn out to be a dry tie rod end. fixed it with a needle greaser. It was hard to pin point the noise 'till I removed the tire and twisted the tie rod.
