Road noise help

So starting at about 15-20mph all they way to 80mph for sure. could be higher. i have a rumble noise coming from the front of the car. when i turn towards the right, and load the left side of car, the noise goes away. when i turn towards the left, and load the right side, the noise stays and gets slightly louder. thoughts on what it could be??

I've heard some nasty noises come from strut mounts. A friend of mine with a 91 ES250 had this grumbling/clanking noise coming from the rear, so he went in to replace the orig struts and they showed us that the strut mounts were shot. After replacing them, it ran quiet, like a Lexus should...

I had the struts done on my Camry at 78K, but neglected to replace the mounts because they weren't making any noise at the time, now the front left pops when I drive on rough road or make hard right turns.

So it is possible if you haven't replaced them and your car has <100K. I believe there is a thread that talks about this and how to tell if your mounts are servicable or not.

+1 for strut mounts. I've heard some really insane noises come from them.
