What's that clunking sound in the turns?
What's that clunking sound in the turns?
So I hear this new slight clunking sound whenever I make a hard RH turn. 
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.
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.
Just another day in owning a Porsche and being hypersensitive to sounds.
Sorry, it took me 20 minutes to solve this so you don't get your 30 seconds back.
