Well the right strut wasn't the issue, because it's still making that loud vibration when you make sharp left turns. Steering is also tight turning left. I think it's the rack. We're going to pull off the tie rods tomorrow and check.

I think whoever had this thing banged it into a curb or something because the left strut was changed and the alignment is off, it pulls to the right.

We're thinking that the rack could be bent? It's funny because it doesn't make any noise while steering at a stop. To make things even worse, they didn't install the strut mount correctly on the left side so there was a constant clunking noise. We fixed that issue but the vibration problem still there.

Thanks to you guys who helped out.

Now I'm thinking about spun wheel bearing!

Well, this issue has finally been fixed. It was the rack and pinion after all. Thanks to everyone who helped out.
