Strange Noise From Front End

When making sharp turns to the right I am getting a rubbing noise similiar to the noise made when power steering fluid is low only louder. Left turns are completely normal. Vechile is 04 SL600 with 19000 miles. Anyone else experienced this problem?

Car has been at dealer for 4 days and they cannot solve the problem. Have performed 2 TSBs and replaced a pump on the ABC system. They are going to ask for help from Mercedes technical.

I remember there was a front suspension issue (control arms?) with 03-early 04 SL's that caused some sort of noise.
