I have an 03 sport that makes a loud squealing rotational noise when I am driving and turning right. The sound is louder the faster I go (though I haven’t gone over 40 recently) and only when I turn right. It happens if I accelerate or brake. If I go left or straight there is no noise but the slightest turn right and you can hear it. When taking it for a test drive it appears the same volume from both sides of the vehicle and from the rear wheels/axle. My differential fluid is full and brakes are about half worn.
im not sure if my video will work but it’s a squealing high pitched noise. No clicks, grinding or banging. If that helps any.

Any oily looking stains in your wheels ,on the backs of the tires or slung into the fender wells?

Not from what I can tell. It’s been a month or two since I’ve driven it more than around the block.
