My 2015 renegade latitude front driver side rumbles and steering wheel vibrates when turning slightly to the left. Any suggestions what it could be?

Welcome aboard Amber22! 🙋‍♀️

Well, with a wheel bearing, usually a left turn loads the right front wheel bearing (weight shifts that way). It's usually the opposite, left turn, right bear, right turn, left bearing.

So if you have noise on the driver (we'll call it left) side on a left turn, I might be tempted to start thinking half shift. But they usually click or pop.

I'm now anxious to see what others think.

It doesn't click or pop. It is worse when I am going slower. It pulls to the right so when you pull steering wheel to the left it makes that rumble noise.

How does the tread on you tires look? Badly worn tires can make that same sort of sound.

Jack up the front end and put jack stands under it. grab each wheel and and lift up and rock it back and forth. The one that moves the most is the one with a bad bearing. Also take a look at the CV joints, that is a possible problem.

Sounds like a CV, or hub, but I’ve seen an inner tie rod do the same thing. But performing the above test can hopefully show you where to look further.

We did the test and it looks like the right side tie rod end. Will be putting it on tomorrow.
