Mitsubishi Repair: Mitsubish space star rattling, wheel bearings, space star


Question
I've got a 2004 Mitsubish space star eclipse. had it for 6 months, only done 28,000 miles and it was serived at purchase. recently, while turning left, there's a rattling/creaking noise and a slight vibration underfloor. i thought the right suspension may be shot but it doesnt appear so, i cant figure out why it's rattling only around corners, and mainly on the right side when doing a sharp left turn, the brakes, gears, everything feel fine! Any ideas what this could be?

Answer
Andrew: I would say one of the rattle clips is broken on the brakes, it does not stop the brake from working or anything like that. But it makes that noise, you can have the clip replaced and that would stop the noise now the vibration kind of bothers me. Have you seen is the car wearing tires or tire? Could be you have a tire that is not round, one is low in air or maybe one of the rims is bent. Ok, right out of the old repair manual things for you to check... tire or wheel out-of-balance or out-of-round, loose or worn front hub or wheel bearings, worn tie-rod ends, worn lower balljoints. You are just feeling the slight vibration now but if you let it go, it will or could get worse with time. So have the front end of the car checked up just to be on the safe side of things.
