groan
I getting a groan noise when turning steering wheel left or right. Power steering has been checked and flushed. Do you guys think this is a sway bar bushing problem. Vette is an 2001 auto coupe with 50K miles.

Does it make the noise while turning the wheel at a stop? If so, it cannot be any part of the sway bar assembly as it's not even moving. Possible culprits would then include the steering knuckle, steering rack and power steering pump/fluid (which you said you already had checked).

Anytime I hear the word Groan,I always think wheel bearing.
Of course if this happens when you are not moving,that would put an end to that theory.
Thought I would throw that out since you did not state whether you are in motion or not
