   I have similar and mechanic said its the wheel bearings on the rear axel, he shown me the movement in the wheel check the is no movement in your wheels?
   
   grab top and bottem of your wheel and try to rock could be that.

   Thank you people.
   
   It was a rattling but now its a squecking noice when i turn corners.
   
   Ah it could be the bearings. When i had it MOTd they said there was play in the back wheel.
   
   Do you know how much it would cost to get it sorted?

   wheel bearing will cost you about 140 - 150
   drive shaft will cost you around 50 quid with labour

    I bought a furio a few weeks ago and because of the cold weather me thinks, it developed a rattling noise around the middle section of the exhaust. It happened everytime i put my foot down from low revs in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears and at clutch biting point. it started to really do my nut in. It sounded like a shield on a cat. On the weekend I couldnt stand it any longer so i got my father-in-law to hav a look (he use to hav his own garage).
    
    It turned out to be the spring bolt which joins the middle section to the manifold. the bolt was tight but spring was loose. he took it off easily enough and packed it with washers to stop spring from moving and now THANK THE LORD, the noise has now gone. I hope this helps someone because I know it was doing my head in. Next call is changing the cv boot on nearside any help or advice would be appreciated, don't want to keep bothering father-in-law as he runs his own business.
    
    ps If you have questions just ask and i will help as best as i can

    badgemobile - hi there matey, if its sound like a cat sheild rattling, metel to metal rattle, then more than likely it is. very easy to find out though. make sure exhaust is cool enough to touch before you do this. jack the car up and check the joint where manifold meets middle section, you'll see the spring bolt straigh away, just move the springs to see if they are loose and do exactly what i said in my previous posting. its simple, no more than 5 mins if you've got the washers. if you need any further advice pm me.
