2008 Chevy Malibu LTZ V6 105k makes noise when turning left Sign In

I have a 2008 Chevy Malibu LTZ and last week I noticed a revving noise like a fan or something whenever I accelerated from a stop and turned left. Continues throughout the turn and stops when going straight. Doesn’t happen on a right turn. Also happens on a windy road when turning left more sharply than just a gradual turn.

Also just noticed this in stop and go traffic. When accelerating slightly and letting off there will be a short grinding/clicking noise that lasts 2-3 seconds or sometimes until I hit the accelerator again.

Any idea what these issues could be and if they might be related?

That would be in line with a bad CV joint. Sold as 1/2 shafts, drive axles already redone with new boots. Can be hard to know for sure without old one(s) out in your hands feeling the problem. If boots are torn now and grease spraying out those will fail even if not the up front problem now,
