2001 V6 with 121000 miles. slight change in rear end noise while making left turns onto a thruway on ramp or off ramp, not right turns. changed both rear wheel bearings and the diff. is full. is there something else I should be looking at?

we need a better description of the noise.

it is not a grinding noise or rubbing, but sounded like the bearing. a very slight change like it is slightly louder than when you drive straight.

Maybe one of the front wheel bearings?

Bad CV Halfshaft?

after a closer look, I found the passenger side upper control arm has a bad bushing. This might cause the wheel to twist slightly while making left turns at highway speed. This might be the cause of the noise diffrence. I will update after the arm is replaced.
