Clanking noise

[Brendan]

>When I turn left my '87 4kcsq makes a clanking noise.  My former mechanic
>('former' because we moved) described it as a bunch of cans rattling
>around.  He thought it might be from the catalytic converter.  One day I
>noticed that the noise had disappeared.  Hurray, I thought.  Two weeks
>ago I took the car to a new mechanic (he's great: George Richey in Tahoe
>City) for a new exhaust system and he told me the cat had disintegrated.
>He replaced the old with a new and now the noise is back.  What gives?

CV joint? Sounds exactly like rattling cans...Check the boots on your joints...
Might just be a random occurence about the cat...
