Wheel alignment is off..? And have you an after market boss kit holding your steering wheel on, and its rubbing somewhere making that noise while turning?? Or a wire for a horn or airbag rubbing something?

I thought it was the wheel alignment but would that not pull to just one side if it was off?

ye theres an aftermarket boss alright but it doesnt sound like thats the problem its so loud sometimes sounds like its the steering rack or something

check your steering and suspensio for excessive play .Possibly worn ball joints steering arms or suspension bushes or rack itself

If both wheels are toe'd out you'll find the car will drive the exact way your describing.. Is it a whining/grating sort of noise? That could be your power-steering pump, check your fluid level.. Or as said above, it could be worn ball-joints, track-rod ends, bushes etc!

you have top shock bushes worn. what happens is when ya turn one way full lock and return to the straight ahead position the top bush hold the spring on the strut and givin u a pull, now if u have a pull to the left try flick the steering right and she should go straight, seen it alot on vans,
