What's that clunking sound in the turns?
 
So I hear this new slight clunking sound whenever I make a hard RH turn. :confused:

Uh oh, is there something wrong with the car? Maybe the suspension?

I check the glove box and the center console storage to be sure it's nothing simple -- all clear.

I drive the car around a little more to see if I can detect a pattern. (Haven't we all wandered around aimlessly through our neighborhood?). ;)

There's definitely less noise on LH turns, but much more noticeable on RH turns. The sound seems to come from underneath the car near the passenger side.

Crap -- I might have to take it in to get it looked at. :mad:

Wait -- I should check one more time.

I park the car and look/feel around the seats -- nothing.

I decide to raise the passenger seat up and look underneath with a flashlight.

I find a kids' walkie talkie under there sliding around inside the metal "well" under the seat. :eek:

Just another day in owning a Porsche and being hypersensitive to sounds. :D

Sorry, it took me 20 minutes to solve this so you don't get your 30 seconds back. hilarious
