Odd rattle after accident repair

Post by millster »

So as most know by now, I was involved in an accident about a month ago. The car has been repaired, however, some issues still remain. Most alarming is a rattle when I let the clutch out. It happens most frequently on right hand turns, lasts about 15 seconds and sounds a little like gurgling water. I was concerned at first that it was the engine valves chattering, but that's a little louder than this sound is. Otherwise, very similar. I'm going to call the dealership about it tomorrow but in case they can't replicate it, I wanted to get some ideas on where to point them.
