Loud Groan When I Cut Hard Left
Hello All I got an 01 SS in June and I love it. I really enjoy driving it and I can't wait to put money into and make it truly my own. But I noticed when I bought it there was a slight pull in the front left. When I would brake it would vibrate through the steering wheel but it never made noise. I bought new tires and was told by mechanic that I also had a warped tie rod end. I had that replaced and recently did the brakes. I didn't really notice before but after I got the tie rod end replaced whenever I cut hard left my car groans extremely loud I have power steering fluid and all the levels are good. Anyone got any advice? Thanks!

Wheel hub assemblies are a common problem on the W-Body. You could have one starting to go bad.
Jack up the front of the car, and see if there is any play in the wheels. Left/Right, Up/Down

2011 was the year for wheel bearings for me:
one on the Monte
one on a Grand Prix
two on an Impala
one on a Grand Am
The job is easy, the trick is having the tools. I use an air-hammer to get the old bearing hub out of the knuckle.
