Strange noise when turning wheel left or right but only in reverse

[m00nJump3r]

There is this strange noise coming from the rear but only in reverse when I turn the wheel almost all the way to the left or right but when it's raining I don't hear it. Any idea what it could be? I was thinking it right be a wheel bearing.

CV joint?
CV joints can bind up at extreme steering angles when they start to wear out.

It doesn't make any noise when going straight, does it?

Thank you Odrapnew for your response. And no noise when going straight; only when it's in reverse turning left or right.

See if any of the rear CV boots are ripped and leaking. Does it happen when turning and stationary or only when moving while turning the wheel?

Might be worth trying to get a video of it happening under the car and upload it

Thanks Mguy13sport:

Only when I'm moving while turning the wheel.

Have somebody turn the steering while you safely look and feel from underneath for the source of the noise.

Worn suspension or drive-line components would be a good suspects, but actual diagnosis needs to be in real life.

A worn unit hub bearing would make noise while driving. Hypothetically, if one is making noises when in park it would be ready to fall apart.

Common unit hub bearing symptoms:

1. Humming noise. The most easily identifiable and common symptom of bad wheel bearings is audible.
2. Squealing, growling noises
3. Wheel play or wobble.
4. ABS failure.
5. Uneven tire wear.
6. Vehicle pulls to one side.
7. Steering wheel vibration.

To check individual wheel hub assemblies, you need to look for “play”. “Play” is any looseness in the wheel’s connection to the axle when it’s fully bolted down. You can check for play by grasping the wheel at its top and bottom, and pushing one side while pulling the other. You shouldn’t be able to wiggle the wheel to any significant amount.

It's a bad wheel bearing. Would that be covered under fba powertraincare warranty?

Do you not have a copy of that warranty?
