Mine made a clattering noise every time I made a right turn! Turned out to be the starter thanks Robert from 2 years ago your comment made me change the starter and that fixed it! The gear gets loose and on a right hand turn centrifugal force drags the gear into the flywheel which spurs it and it creates a clatter under the car that is quite annoying!!!
