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.

is the rattle coming from the front? rear? can you feel it in the wheel or pedal?

Im also not gettin much mentally out of your description of the sound.. could you try to better decribe it??

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.

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.

on the arm thing, have no idea what I can do about that.

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
