How can I tell where the noise comes from?

[f_inscreenname]

I have a ratteling noise comming from my ( I think)bellhousing when I steer the outdrive (volvo 270 to a chrysler 360) to the left or right.<br />If it was the vibration damper,wouldnt it make the sound no matter what way the outdrive was pointed? If it was the U-joints in the outdrive,why is all the noise comming from the bellhousing and none from the outdrive.

You better stick to one topic - it will attract the people who knows. It is very difficult to hear where the sounds starts - i removed my drive every year without seing a serious error.<br /><br />When you turn a bad link will start to vibrate and all parts move !

I would try to run a bit under load - give the link some exercise.
