Folks, I have a slight rumbling from the NSF when the car loads that corner in a right turn...any ideas?

Wheel bearing or tyre touching the bodywork ???

I don't really know. These are just suggestions.

Check all the bushings and check to see no rub marks on body work if all OK and If it happens only in RH turns and not LH turns then probably a wheel bearing on the way out.

If you have a manual it tells you how to change and adjust them properly.

Erm...if it was body work, then presumably that's more likely in a left hand turn?

Not necessarily. I think you're assuming perfect symmetry influenced only by the driver's mass. Remember, this is a Lotus! Perfect symmetry is a rarity.
