Re: Bad Rattle

Bleed the power steering and check your hoses for a slight leak. I had this problem once and it was due to a pinhole crack in the steering hose that caused air to rush in under certain circumstances and create cavitation in the pump. This manifested as a rattle when turning a certain direction.

Of course, that's just a guess... it could be a number of things including loose brake pads/calipers or control arm. I guess I am asking for more details of what it sounds like?
