hi, i have a '64 catalina and when im stopped or i slow down to make a turn and then i start to accelerate i hear a rattling sound that sounds like its coming from somewhere by the front wheels. i can also feel something grinding and a little bit of resistance. this also happens when i take a fast left turn. i know the lower ball joints are kinda going bad, the left one is worse. and also the left sway bar is kinda deteriorating. could one of those be what is causing the rattling and grinding?

You already know some parts are weak here, stop fooling around and go over the entire suspension, steering and brake components and fix/replace anything that is wrong, only you can track down a noise by doing basic diagnostics, especially on a 40 year old car!
