Strange hum in the rear...

[getto]

happens when I am cornering to the right. At first I thought it was in the front end but today I definitely think it is coming from the rear passengers side. Again it only happens when I am cornering to the right and it sounds like a humming/rubbing noise. Thanks.

Does it matter if you are accelerating or coasting, or at a certain speed? Maybe differential? Maybe axle bearing since it only happens when turning right.

Check the oil in your differential. You might be running low. Just a guess.

Check your clearances between the DS rear tire and things like the exhaust and the fender well. I could rub the tire on the inner fender if I cornered hard with no bump stop on that side. I've also had trouble with the exhuast hitting the tire...

check the easy things first

It usually happens on acceleration. There is nothing rubbing, I checked that already. I'll check the diff fluid today. Thanks for the replies!
