    Rattle when turning

    Got a weird noise, sounds like the exhaust rattling but only happens when I'm turning right and accelerating, and only happens for about 3-4 seconds.

    Exhaust is checked and not movable. Nothing else seems loose underneath.

    Any ideas?

    If it is just one CV and not two it will only rattle when on the outer wheel of a turn. Eg. if turning left the RH will rattle and vice versa.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Yeah it definitely only when turning right and then straightening up. Turning left doesn't do it at all. So would be the LHS joint then?

    How would I confirm that?

    Yep if CV, which it sounds like, would be the LH.

    The only real was to confirm this is to get someone familiar with the sound to drive it.

    The noise(of a worn CV) is a clicking type noise. Have you had a look at the rubber boot on this CV. If it is torn you can back it in that it will be stuffed as crapp and water gets in and shortens their life big time.

    Where do you live? You might be able to find someone here that knows the sound and can drive it.

    It doesn't sound like the same as when my Ford Focus cv joint went. This really sound like a loose exhaust pipe or muffler shaking around.

    As I said in my last post. If you reveal your location and you are not living in the middle of the Simpson Desert(although there would probably be someone there to help) you might find someone living reasonably close who might have an idea.
