My 2016 Forester 2.0 Turbo is making a funny "brrrrrrrrrraaaaap" sound when accelerating and making a right turn. It does not happen at all when making a left. It only does it while accelerating and it doesn't happen every time turning right or through the full turn...the wheel must be turned only within a certain range of turned position. I'm getting "better" (if there is such a thing) at finding the right range that seems to elicit the sound and could probably do so at will in an open parking lot now. The sound seems to be coming from the far rear of the car (maybe right side of the rear?...hard to tell for sure). The "brrrrrrraaaap" sound can be characterized as almost a hard vibration, in fact, I initially thought that might be all it was, but believe I have since eliminated any vibrations as the culprit. It's kind of like the sound you'd make lightly touching your finger to a plastic-bladed portable house fan for a short second or so (don't pretend you've never done that :grin2
.
I can't imagine it's a cv joint issue given the relative "newness" of the car and location/type of sound. I bought the car used a few months ago, 47000 miles, I had a CURT trailer hitch installed at UHAUL shortly after purchase and can't remember if the car always made the noise or only after installation, but figured I'd mention that. I called my shop (great Subie shop in town) and it didn't ring any obvious bells to them.
Thanks for any help/ideas.
