Metal noise under drivers floor

My 2000 Rodeo started to make a loud metal noise which i feel under the driver seat when i take left turns from a stop. Two Mechanic Shops could not find the problem. Anybody know anything about this problem?
My second problem is with the rear ABS sensor. I changed the sensor but the light is still on for about 6 Months now.
My third problem is with the rear wiper not working. Fuse is good, switch is good and when i jump the motor directly it works. Anybody else have a problem with the rear wiper?
I also had a problem that i saw a lot in the forums with the stalling but fixed it my self after spending $2,400 in parts and mechanics.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The loud metal noise could be the sway bar rubbing the shock (common issue when turning) or you could have a bad body mount or there is a loose heat shield (I had one that I fixed with a hose clamp).
As for the ABS, what code did you get? the code will tell you which sensor is bad. Have you ever checked the fuse?
The rear wiper not working is most likly due the a chip on the alarm control board (another common problem)

What other parts have you replaced on your truck?

1. did you crawl under there yet to see what might be hanging down. check the whole length of the car, noises have a way of traveling. you say "feel". what type of feel...vibration, clunk, etc.? check heat shields along the exhaust (maybe they don't like left turns...) check the driveshaft bearing and universal joint.
2. abs. there are alot of posts on this. try the search.
3. look up Gizmo in search. he's written alot on this and solved the problem, and is the resident experto on this i'd say.
and....

It might be a body mount...i have to check. It sounds like part of the frame comes off the truck and back when you hear it. The ABS fault code was the rear single sensor which i replased, then when the light still came back a couple of hours later i checked the code again and it was pointing to the rear sensor again. After checking it i found off the wires at the plug that connects to the sensor was broken. Still fault code points to the rear. Fuse is also good. As far as the chip, does it have to do anything with the rear wiper?

My Rodeo would shut off when I came to a stop at first ones in a wile. Later got to the point were it almost happened every time I came to a stop, so i did a complete tune-up on it with the correct Spark Plugs which are very expensive. The problem was still there. I checked the fault code and it was directing me to the fuel level sensor so I replaced the Fuel sending unit which came as a unit with the fuel pump. That didn't correct the problem. After that i got a bunch of more codes so i changed the EGR Valve, the Mass airflow sensor, Fuel pressure switch located on the left of the throttle body, Cleaned the throttle body and changed the PVC Valve. That did not work either. I then brought it to the second Mechanic who changed a few relays and the two rear O2 sensors which didn't make a difference either but by that point i only had one code left which was stubborn. The "Throttle position sensor". At that point i realized that when i closed the passenger door the truck would stall. Then the truck would stall when i tilted it to the right. I checked for a loose plug on the Vehicles ECM but nothing was loose. However i discovered that when i moved the thick main harness that goes to the ECM the truck would stall. I took apart the harness and found a black wire that was broken. I fixed it and at the same time i replaced the Throttle Position Sensor and never had the problem again. Most likely the problem was at the harness which could have cost me $0 instead of $2,400.00. Hopefully this info will help you and others.

Yes there are 2 chips. One deals with the front wipers and one with the rear wipers.
Sorry to hear about your hunt for your broken wire. There have been a few others with the same issue:
