Vibration and noise when turning left under load

2000 3.5L

On a hard left high speed turn, it vibrates under load.

Also while under throttle when making a second gear left hand turn.

Noise will come and go when going over dips at high speeds under load

I have already replaced the left Halfshaft.

I am a master mechanic and have had success with changing a halfshaft on a similar situation. Looking for other possibilites before I throw another halfshaft at it.

Bearing noise?

Don't think so. It is only under load. Also sounds like a lower sound than that

Does the vibration problem occur when starting from a dead stop and accelerating with the wheels partially turned. That was my problem and it was a failed front motor mount. 99 intrigue with 212 miles and original half shafts and wheel bearings

It does, but also turning left only

Can the engine mount be checked visually when installed?

O.K. I replaced the right side CV axle last week and am certain the problem is gone now. The inside joint had water in it and the smaller part of the boot slid on the shaft when compressed.
