Grinding noise on 2003 Town and Country when straightening from a LH turn

I have a 2003 Town and Country that makes a grinding or shuttering noise when I am straightening from a left-hand turn. It doesn't happen after a right-hand turn, and doesn't happen at high speeds (or maybe I just don't notice it then). The brakes were recently replaced so that isn't the problem. There are no other chassis noises, so I wonder if this is from the power steering system. The van also makes "vrrooooom" noise for a few seconds when starting in cold weather. Are the two noises related?

SOURCE: Vibration/Humming/Grinding noises when stopping or turning left.

when turning left vehicle distributes weight to right front wheel bearing causing load. since u describe a noise in right front while driving straight i would suspect failed right front wheel bearing. see if your noise changes/goes away while turning right that should tell u 4 sure

Replaced starter still makes grinding noise..what could it be..

Chances are, the flywheel ring gear is damaged and the new starter drive gear just doesn't have enough to engage into so it spins and makes a grinding noise. If you can, try and turn the engine over a tiny bit by hand and then try the starter. If this allows the engine to turn over and start, this is probably your problem. Unfortunately, most engines come to a rest in the same spot(s) when you shut them off so the starter always has to try and engage in the worn area. The fix involves removing the transmission and replacing the ring gear...a big job.
