2007 growls when turning right V50

My wife's 2007 V50 is making a growling noise in the morning when she makes a right turn accelerating from a stop sign. She says it goes away after the day gets warmer.

I drove the car last night but it had been driven on her commute and it wasn't 20 F outside. It didn't make a noise.

This morning I took it out before anyone drove it, the morning was cold. Yep it makes a noise and I have no idea what it could be. I'm accustomed to a CV joint making a clank / clank / clank noise and I don't think I ever had a bad CV joint that healed itself during the daytime.

The growling kind of sounds like a tire rubbing against the wheel well, a very hard rub. I looked and there are no rub marks anyplace.

A strange caliper issue on the right wheel? It brakes straight and true.

Motor mount or trans mount? I need to get my wife behind the wheel while I do the check for a trans mount.

Any ideas?????
