Steve,
I had a similar problem with a car a few years ago. Does this happen on both sides? The reason I ask is that my car had a "custom" exhaust when I bought it, and they had not bent the pipe sharply enough to clear the pitman arm. Each time I would turn left, the pitman arm would push the exhaust to one side, then it would return to the normal position. This "see-sawing" would wear out a donut gasket in no time, not to mention being extremely dangerous from a steering standpoint. Hope this helps.
