When I am making a sharp turn say in a parking lot, I hear this whooshing noise and it sounds like it's coming from the back. But it's hard to tell where noises are coming from these cars cause they're so small and loud. It only happens when I am on the gas, say I'm making a right turn in a parking lot. The "whoosh" noise is very similar to just tire noise like rubber on the ground spinning, or when the tire rubs on the fender. It's not clanking or grinding. I know what a bad diff sounds like and if that was the case, that would be more like a whining noise and usually when the car accelerates it will get louder and higher pitched if it's the diff. Or it will also have a whining down noise when decelerating. Car doesnt make noise when moving and or driving normally. ONLY when turning and particularly turning right. You can hear it when turning left too but not as bad.

Could it be something like a wheel bearing or something rubbing? It does sound like something rubbing like possibly the tire rubbing on the fender and I bought the car lowered but it's not THAT low. I can still fit one finger between the tire and fender on all 4 corners.

I bet the tire/tires are rubbering. Why don't you have a friend stand in the middle while u slowly drive around him and see if he sees any rubbering.
