Bad Rattle
I seemed to have developed over night this really annoying rattle like shaking noise. It seems to be coming from the front passengers side when I make a sharp right hand turn. The car still turns fine however and makes no noise at all when turning left. I looked underneath and checked the tires to see if something was rubbing, but that doesn't seem to be the case. And someone was recently under there checking out my suspension so that should be okay. Any ideas what this could be?

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?

Re: Bad Rattle
i would check the axle on that side. i had a similar noise and was convinced it was the rack but hooked up my chassis ear just in case and found out the grease had come out of the outer boot. boot looked ok but grease must had come around it. just an idea.

Last week they flat bedded the truck back to me and the roller bearings were falling out onto the floor! It is driven in town, not fast or hard by a Lady banker... I NEVER thought it would go to hell so fast!

Does it make a clicking noise while turning and accelerating? Does it bind,or give you any feedback through the steering wheel?

Re: Bad Rattle
So it turned out to be a bad hub and a bad bearing. SVXfiles took care of both and it handles very quietly now without the shake, rattle or creak it had before.
