at low speed while making left turns I get a groveling noise, is that the torque tube causing the noise.
If so, what does it take to correct the problem?

Not likely to be the torque tube if it only does it while turning. Maybe a wheel bearing???

The groveling sounds like this:

"PleasefixmeorIllbreakPleasefixmeorIllbreakPleasefixmeorIllbreak..."

I'd guess wheel bearing or CV joint.

Brake line rubbing on the tire?

think I figured it out, alternator hitting against the frame.
Looks like I need new grommets and mounting bracket (goes next to water pump on front of engine) has 2 bolt holes and the mounting / pivot hole which is wallowed out.
