My car (details in sig.) is making a strange noise whenever I turn to the right. It doesn't particularly do it when turning left (it does sometimes but usually right turns). The noise can best be described as the sound a lightweight chain makes when you drag it on the ground - sort of a metallic clinky squeaky sound, pretty high pitched. I feel no vibration or anomalies with how the car handles, but this sound is pretty loud (can hear with windows up, roof up, radio OFF).

Oh, and it usually makes this noise if I'm going over, say, about 10 mph. Under that its intermittent, doesn't usually happen. It does not (that I notice) happen on straight line acceleration/deceleration/braking, and braking in the turn does not appear to affect the noise, either, so long as the speed I mentioned applies.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Thanks a bunch!

 

Front or rear???

I'd be leaning towards something dieing on the driverside rear...

 

Sounds like the middle or rear, yes.

 

I'd be checking the rear bushings to start with and go from there.

 

PROBLEM SOLVED!

It was the brake pad pins on the front left brake caliper. The metal pin that held them in place somehow broke or came off or something (funny, b/c it was BRAND NEW and I *know* I put it in right... grr) so the pins were rattling against the back of the wheel mesh. Good thing they didn't break off!!! So, I secured them with some wire I had laying around. Hopefully that will hold them enough for now.
