Q: Rattling sound coming from the wheel when turning.

asked by on February 18, 2018

There is rattling sound coming from the front passengerside wheel when I turn either direction. It’s pretty loud. The sharper the turn, the more it sounds off. It is not an issue at all when I drive straight.

My car has 113000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
