rattle on passenger side
I have a rattle that is on the passenger side somewhere, I can't find it though. The car is empty, and it is more noticable when I am turning to the left, but also happens on the straights too... It is not really a quiet rattle, it is definately audible. Any idea what it can be? Any tips on how to track it down?

Have someone ride in the passenger seat to help you locate the source. Once you pin it down to a specific area, either you or your passenger can push against specific parts of the car to pinpoint the source. Also, before you do that check to see if you have anything lying around unsecured like sunglasses.
