Rumbling on my left side!

It happend 2x to me. I was taking sharp turns on off ramps and while the steering wheel was turned all the way i was accelerating and there was a rumbling by the left side tire. Is it supose to do that if the steering wheel is turned to max?

I have a 2004 CVT mini, now im sure there are mini owners like me who occasionally on sharp turns like to press the gas a bit more so dont bash on me.....

I do it all the time...

You're actually supposed to merge with traffic coming off the onramp at a decent speed.

Unfortunately, I have no clue what your problem is.

maybe your control arm bushing is worn. Do you mean "rumbling" as a sound or a vibration felt in the steering wheel?
