Curving noise

I got an automatic oz lancer. Whenever I make hard turns at a low speed like 15-20mph or so, the car makes a rolling sound. By rolling sound, i mean, it sounds like something is rolling around in the trunk or something. at first i thought it was the coins in my ash tray, but i'm not too sure about it. anyone have the same problem?

Perhaps your spare tire is shifting?
Or even your jack stand within the middle of the spare is shifting positions...?
I have the same noises.

hey, i just went o check it out again. yeah, something is definitely moving inside, because when i make a left turn, the noise comes up, and if i make a left again, the noise is no longer there, but if i make a right, the noise comes up again. it's the slightest sound, but it still bothers me, cuz i only got mine a month ago, and i'm cherishing it like anything.

Well do a little test...
Go into your trunk an put your jack an stuff in a set position where you know how you left it..
Go drive an when you hear the noise pull over an check out the position of it...
That could be the answer to your question.
Good luck.

Wrap your jack and tools in a blanket or towel and put them in the tray under the carpet in the trunk with the spare tire. You can use the blanket to help stabilize the whole package. It will keep them quiet, add a minimal amount of sound insulation and in case you ever happen upon an emergency, you never know how it may come in handy. Good luck.
