Default Unknown Rattle

I drive a 1993 Hinda civic. When at make hard right turns there is a rattle nose from my engine bay. sounds like it's coming from the drive side nut I'm not positive. Does anyone know what this rattle could be.

If it's a very regular ratcheting sound when you turn, it could be your CV boots have torn, lost all their grease, and the inner workings are beginning to give way. Take a look at your CV axles and take note of any torn boots. You'll need to replace them if this be the case.

If that is the case, there will be cv joint grease splattered all around the brake knuckle and the surrounding areas.
