I have a groaning sound when i make a right corner but i have already checked the wheel bearings and they are good. Today the car was groaning a little while driving strait.The brakes are new in all four corners. Thanks Tim 1999 Mustang GT 1998 SVT #3217 Of 6535 (Sold) 8/25/97 I will own another SVT

So they can and will sometimes make noise when turning. When you turn left though the right side gets the power due to weight transfer and that wheel has to travel farther.

I didn't think it would be somthing so simple, I had already replaced the drivers side and had looked at the one on the passenger side when I had it apart. I guess I must have nicked it when I put it all back togather. Thanks. 1999 Mustang GT 1998 SVT #3217 Of 6535 (Sold) 8/25/97 I will own another SVT
