Default Vibrations when turning with AC on

I have an 09 A6 3.0T. When i'm driving and I turn left or right I get a humming and vibrations from the front end. This only happens when the AC is on. Even when the AC is on it happens about 8 out 10 times. If the AC is off the humming noise is not there? AC blows cold air.

I think it's the accessory belt. Any ideas?

Did you figure this out ? If so what was the issue.

I am on the same boat on this, do hear a humming noise in short intervals, while the AC compressor clutch engages/dis engages.Is not loud enough to be worried about, but definitely noticeable. Doubt its the belt., seems to be more like a bearing/pully noise.

It was actually my fan being out of balance. I replaced the whole fan in under 2 hours.
