Default "Whoop" Noise when turning all the Way Left?

I've been digging through some old threads along with google searching and haven't found anything.

This only happens when I turn left and its right before I reach my max turning capability. The noise appears to be coming from the front driverside axle/hub. There is no grinding, no clicking, and no humming. The noise only appears when turning as sharply as possible ( generally going very slow).

Any thoughts?

I'm going to try to upload a video later of the noise.

Thanks.

What mods are on the rig? Tire size, lift, etc... My jeep was making a similar noise when I put on my 35's a quick peak while someone held the wheel at full lock and moved forward revealed the tires were rubbing the sway bar.

Its a 2009 jku Rubi. 3" of lift, 33's (35's to come), PSC front bumper. I've been running this set-up for 10k miles.
With that amount of lift and tire size I wouldn't think anything would be rubbing. Especially since I've put that many miles on the set-up and the noise just started.

Most likely just your tires rubbing

You can adjust your steering stops out a bit to prevent this (add a washer or two on each side)
