Clattering noise from LF

[Jagmeister]

I have just started getting a clattering noise from the left front when I make right turns.

I only notice it when on exit ramps or highway curves where I am moving fairly fast.

Will jack it up this weekend and take a close look under there but wondered if anyone had any ideas of what I should be looking for.

Thanks,

I had that noise once ...you can duplicate it when the car is standing still and you have someone outside listen as you turn your wheels.

My problem was a misaligned brake rotor shield. Dealer fixed it in 20 minutes.

What year? If it is one of the earlier models '91-'96 then it is probably the plastic side engine cover. They located on the left and right side of the engine in the wheel well area. The clips that secure them break and the plastic shield flaps around when driving at highway speeds or turning. While the car is stopped, just turn the wheel sharply and look inside, you should see the plastic splash shield loose or broken.

1PNYBOY,
I'm so glad that you joined us here on this humble board! I mean it!

1PNYBOY got it right. I crawled under there and the plastic engine shield had ripped loose and gotten twisted around up beside the axle.

During the investigation process I also discovered my left headlight has a broken mounting bracket. Gadzooks! One thing after of another
