Alfa 156 1.8 rattle

Hi all

This is my first ever newsgroup posting (I'm a lurker ) so please bear
with me. I have been reading tons about passenger side dashboard rattles
(UK), but mine seems a little different. There's a pretty loud rattle coming
from the passenger side... but it seems centered towards the left wheel. If
I open my window, there are some SCARY clanking noises coming from that side
of the car, kinda like metal hitting the ground! Yes I thought some part of
the exhaust had come off, but it hasn't. I spent hours under it and it's all
solid. The only thing I could find wrong, was the nut on the left side of
the anti-roll bar was non-standard (ie has been worked on at some point) and
it had 2-3 threads left to tighten. So I used all my might to tighten this
nut until it could go no more. But the noise is still there! It's driving me
mad and I can't live with it... Help? I'm taking it to a garage on Saturday
morning, so if there is a list I could take with me for the mechanics to
look at, I would be ever so greatful. I've had this car (used '00) for just
over a week and it's an absolute JOY to drive, except for that scary
sounding rattle. Thanks!
