I don't have aftermarket sway bars. The sound seems to be coming from the
boot but I can't really make out what it is. The funny thing is that it ONLY
happens when making a relatively hard right turn. The harder the right turn
the louder it'll get. There's no sound when you push the car up and down. I
wonder if it is the brake callipers or something like that??

Help!
