Noise when turning left and applying pressure left on Steering Wheel...
When driving at slow speeds and at 45mph, if slight pressure is applied to the steering wheel to the left or when changing lanes to the left or making a left hand turn a Whomping noise is heard (constant rhythm) kind of like a alignment issue with aggressive tires would make but does not produce noise when driving straight or sitting stationary. After driving for 10 miles at 45Mph and then making a left hand turn a popping noise would occur (like what would sound when a Universal like on drive shaft would make). I have heard noise like this when a hub is bad (being 4 wheel drive) and have replaced the drivers side (left) Hub without resolution. Also when this tarted the ABS light would come on and now I have a wrench displayed on the information display.
Any information you may have in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated, vehicle only has 80k miles and has had both hubs replaced about 5 years ago.

Generally when a hub/bearing issue is the cause the opposite side is affected meaning,, if say making a left turn the vehicles weight is transferred to the right side bearings and the left side bearing/s some of the bearing carrying weight is lessened. The side loading affect and stresses are increased as well.
If you make steering direction changes at speed from center to right then left rapidly (basically,, slowly and somewhat aggressively swaying the vehicle) does the sound follow the turn? Raising the vehicle off the ground and physically checking rotation and for any looseness might prove out a potential failure .
