Does your GT350 make this sound?

[Spacebird]

My 2016 GT350R makes a loud, squealing/groaning sound when turning left at low speeds. It's hard to capture just how loud it is when in the car, but I've managed to reproduce the sound and record it here:

Does anyone else experience this sound with their GT350?

Nope. 2017 GT350 with 65,000 miles. Makes a lot of noises but not that.

No, my 2016 doesn't do that. There is one far-fetched possibility that I can think of - have you replaced the FEAD alternator drive belt? EPAS uses a lot of current (it's got a 125 amp fuse) so if the belt was inclined to slip, loading up the steering might do it. I gather it doesn't make the noise turning right though, correct?

Interesting thought. Correct, it doesn't make the sound turning right. It's possible that the low speed left creates the highest dynamic forces. I suppose some asymmetry in the steering mechanism might cause that.

Mine had squeak sound when turning left at low speed. It happens after I tightened lug nuts to 150 ft lbs.

Interesting! To be clear, 150ft-lbs caused the squeak or fixed the squeak?

I think it caused the squeak. As that's the only thing I did to the car before going to the track. The sound disappeared a while later so I'm not sure what fixed it.
