Guys-
When I make a right turn at an accelerated speed the car makes a weird noise. It sounds like an electric motor being overloaded, a slow dull buzz/hum. It's not very loud but can be heard with the top down. Any ideas? I'll be checking my power steering assembly (I.e. Hoses, fluid, etc.).
Thx
Motor mounts.
Does accelerated speed mean high speed? How high?
Or does it mean while accelerating hard? At what speed, what gears?
Can not be heard with top up?

Downshift to 2nd moving at 35-40mph on sharp right turns. Is audible with the top up.
Motor mount does sound likely, with torque and centrifugal force allowing a broken passenger side mount to lift while powering out of a sharp right turn. Raise the hood, put the hand brake on, and apply some clutch in 1st and Reverse to see if the engine moves too much.

Buzz when making a RH turn at speed made me first think of a Front-Left wheel bearing.
Thx for the input. I'm horrible at trouble shooting with my little experience.
I occasionally have one when the driveshaft contacts the heat shield (the heat shield is bent up). That's more of a propeller noise, though.
