'13 Soul - High pitched grind/whirling noise
Hi,
I just started experiencing this noise. Basically, whenever I turn or swerve sharply to the left at any speed above ~15mph, I get this high pitched metal whirling sound coming from front left of vehicle.
The sound can also be triggered if the road is bumpy and I turn to steering wheel to the left at all. The bumpier, the less I have to turn to make the noise occur.

If I am slow or parked, I can't make the noise. Nothing when turning right. I took the wheel off and didn't notice anything out of place (dust plate looked fine, cv joint and steering rack boots looked fine).
Any help would be very appreciated, thanks!
