Weird sound when turning corners

Hello,

For the past couple of months, I've noticed a rattling sound when I would make a strong left turn. Now, this rattling sound has gotten louder, more of like a grinding/crunching, and it does it when I turn both directions.

The odd thing is that when I straighten up, the sound goes away. I'm new to the community I'm in now, so I'm going to have to find a mechanic to have a look at it, unless this sounds really obvious to someone and is something I can fix.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

Wheel bearing or CV joint.

Better get it checked.

Nice diagnosis,

Turns out it's the CV joint. Thank you kindly for the help.
