Q: The car makes noises while making a turn to the left

asked by on July 26, 2016

Lately, my car has been making some weird sounds when I drive down the moderately steep incline and making a turn to the left. The sounds are noticeable only when I turn the steering wheel to the left. What could be the issue here?
