Car Making Weird Noises When Turning Right
I'm not too sure how to describe the sound, but everytime i turn my wheel right, even slightly, it makes a sort of rumbling noise. Sort of if you were to go over a rumble strip on the shoulder. Everything appears to be alright, so I'm not really sure what it is or what it could be. Any ideas?

probly a wheel bearing or a CV joint. It's something that rotates for sure. Would you describe it as a clicking, or a gnashing trashing grinding sound which gets worse with speed or turning. A clicking would be a CV joint, anything else would probly be a bearing.

dtn is right, if its a clicking its one of the cv joints, either inner or outer. You can get an axle to replace both for like $60-80 depending on what auto stores you have.
If its like a knocking noise when you turn one way and not the other its more than likely the outter boot on one of the cv joints is broken and the greece has escaped and is causing the bearings to go bad. Turn your wheel all the way to the direction of the noise and examine the outter cup boot. You will indeed find a large slit/hole in it.
