Rattling Sound When I Turn??? Sign In

Hi There,
I have a 1999 Mitsubishi Galant GTZ. Recently, I noticed that when I take corners, there is a rattling sound coming from under my car. It's like the sound of a chain dragging on the ground, but when I look underneath the car I don't see anything dragging. I do know that I have an exhaust leak in the car that needs repair, but wasn't sure if the noise could be related to that or if it is caused by something else all together. I'm just trying to get an idea of what I'm in for in terms of repairs!

The exhaust sure can make noises if broken or rusted so it can't stay in place and rub on something or just a loose heat shield can make noise too.

Tend to the exhaust as you need to anyway. If you tap at it with a rubber hammer you might get it to duplicate the noise or even shake its tailpipe around and hear something.

If when exhaust is all set it still does it go right on to brakes, cv joints and wheel bearing(s) and I wouldn't wait to find it,
