Hey Guys,
this is not exactly S-Chassis related, but it is a car related problem :)
My buddy in Europe has a Fiat Stilo

which of course is FWD LOL
He has an odd problem with the front passenger side when he's turning left. It starts to oscillate/vibrate when he's accelerating through a turn. It's more noticeable when there are 3-4 people in the car. This is only on the front passenger side, somewhere around the wheel and the strut.
I told him he can check all the suspension links to see if they are not bent in any way, the CV joint (this would only make a grinding noise if it's on it's way out), ball joint (which he said it was replaced) and the upper strut mount.

Anyone else have any idea what his problem might be? I'll call him later and see what he has done last week on the car.
