Rattle in Rear Wheel Area

Hello All,

Just bought a 1989 300SE. Love the car. Everything seems fine in and out except for a rattle in the rear of the car when turning right. It sounds like a piece of metal knocking against the wheel when I turn. Yes I looked. It isnt loud just an annoyance at this stage.

Any ideas?

Also, anyone know where I can find original pricing for this model.

Thanks

Tony

Maybe the exhaust is loose?

Thanks for the ideas. I will check them out this weekend. Now since I have yet to find a repair manual for this car I will have to guess my way around it.
