Rattling Noise When Turning?

[Jboss]

Hey, so basically my car makes i think a rattling noise when the steering wheel is spun all the way to either side, most noticeable when doing u-turns. It's definitely coming from the front and only when the wheel is turned in one direction almost all the way.

Any ideas what is is? Could it be a worn out joint in the front suspension?

08 Yaris Sedan (170K KM), bought it at 160'ish..

Edit: It might be just only when i go fully left on the steering wheel, haven't really examined it thoroughly yet.

Tin can type rattle? CV boot ripped and joint bad.

That would be the first thing to check.

Cv would be better then the alternative .....rack and pinion! Hope its a cheap and easy repare for you,mines in the garage for quite a bit of repare and TLC ....,anti roll bar bushes ,wheel bearings,rear brake load sensing valve ,welding on sill,rear seat belts (dog ate them) all in ￡180

Replacement sill so thats another￡130 on the bill:cry:

So i actually haven't gotten around to having it checked.. Going for an oil change today at my mechanic and he'll have a look at it. Is the joint bad if the tin can rattle sound only comes up when the wheel is turned 100% to either direction or could it just be the cv boot?


I got quoted $250 per side for each "cv joints" but that's without having a look at the car. The car i bought for $4000 and already put some money into it on repairs lol.. Like new battery, serpentine belt..

The parts are available on Amazon for like $150 for both axles. Check it out.

I would be shopping around for a price. How many miles on the car?

Okay so it turns out my mechanic bent something and the noise is gone. I googled up tin can rattle and it was no where near that noise, it was just like a minor grinding noise of some sort. I don't know what he bent though lol, maybe a shield or guard somewhere?

This mechanic i actually found off a local forum, he's a pretty honest guy and is really busy. Maybe i should have listened more clearly but still a mystery lol. Either something at the back of the wheel/tire or back side of the car even though the sound was coming from the front of the car.
