Whenever I make a sharp turn (especially a right turn), a rattling
sound emanates from under the front of the car. Milder turns won’t
cause the rattle, so I only hear it when moving at low speeds (the
only time sharp turns are possible). Any ideas?

First idea is to make sure the CV joints are booted and greased and
don't have crud inside. Still, depending on the age of the car, you
could have a bad CV joint.

Check your CV joints.
