metal grinding, rattling sounds....

Hi!

Just need some diagnosis from you people. Once in awhile when I make a right turn or drive at high speeds, there's a rattling sound(sounds like somethins is loose) and at times sounds like metal grinding on the passenger side wheel area. this does not always happen. I brought it to a shop to checkt it out and everything seems in place and fine. The nosie now however has stopped but wouldn't be surprised if it starts going again. is this one of those mystery things?? Need some help.. thanks...

failing wheel bearing could be a culprit

Anytime a car doesn't sound like it should, it's a serious problem. Take it to a front end specialist or a better mechanic. Once you can HEAR a problem, it's prolly quite late in the stages of failing.

how are the brakes? If the pads are low, then thats what the problem is.
