Rattle under the car when making a strong turn.

Everytime I make a strong turn (or a light turn), I hear a light rattle under the car chassie. It sounds like someone rattling a baseball wrapped in towel which is banging on a metal can.

Dealer said it was the spare tire/jack. I removed them both, and it ain't it.

Any idea's? I know something is loose, just no idea what.

Re: Rattle under the car when making a strong turn.

Well I don't feel it in the brakes, gas or wheel. It is just a sound like something got caught and is banging lightly against the chassie.

Honestly I cannot tell if it is comming from the front or the back. It is so universal it sounds like its comming from right under the seat.

It isn't much I know.

Re: Rattle under the car when making a strong turn.

sounds like exhaust. catalytic converter, or maybe a loose exhaust hanger.

I'm going to check the exhaust and muffler and make sure everythings tight under there.

Way way old thread my friend. I realize that you were just trying to update us on the situation, and figure out a new problem. In that type of situation though, it is best to just start a new thread, with a link to the old thread in it. This has all been done for you here
