At very low speeds, when I am turning, I can hear what sounds like a small metallic sound, almost like a piece of metal that is loose and hitting another piece near the front of the car.
At first I thought it was something with my clutch, because I only heard it when I was going very slow (so no road noise), but now I think it's maybe a broken control arm link or something??

Any clues?

Is it a clicking sound coming from the wheels? Check the torque on your lug nuts:

It sounds like it might be coming the left front wheel, but it's hard to tell from within the car. The strange thing is, it only seems to be at low speeds, so I had thought that it was something with my clutch mechanism while I was engaging it at low speeds.

Just found out monday that my car has the same problem. Sometimes when i go over small bumps i can hear the sound but everytime i make a right turn i can hear it. Gonna check it out tomorrow.

I am not thinking this might be something clutch related.

It seems to make the sound when I am letting out the clutch. Almost like there is a loose piece of metal someplace. I likely only hear it at very low speeds because there is no road/engine noise at 10mp

Any clues what this could be.

Gonna have it checked out at my next oil change next week.
