Front end groan in tight turns
I have a bit of a mysterious problem. During normal running around/short trips everything is fine. But after a longer trip (maybe 2 hours plus on the move) I get a low-frequency groan/rumble from the front wheels when making tight turns, like a u-turn or turn into a parking lot or parking space.
The power steering feels fine, doesn't make noise, and the level is fine. (the fluid is more than 2 years old, though).
The car doesn't make the usual bearing-failing noises.
Front brakes have about 16K on the rotors and pads. I do do mostly stop-and-go driving with this car.
Anyone have any ideas?

Are you up against the locks if so you are probably hearing the the locks rubbing as the suspension moves up and down.
