I have replaced the inner and outer tie rods, the wheel bearing hub and the CV axles and it is still making a sound; like you are driving and hit the wake up line on the side of the road. i don't know what else it could be. I know that it stops if you make a righthand turn. What is it?

Good afternoon,

I posted a picture for you of the dust shield that goes behind the disc rotor. Make sure this shield is not rubbing against the rotor while moving.

If it is, you can just bend it back away from the rotor.

Is it the constant rumble with vibration or only the sound? As a test have you rotated the tires from front/back? A broken belt or odd tread wear can cause some strange noises.
