Annoying Rattle under the Dash

I have 99 Max SE 5spd with 162K recently it has develpoled a rattle that seems to be coming from the cented of the dash. The rattle is worst when making sweeping right hand turns or bumpy (wash board) roads. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Can't help you with that one, but before you start to rip the dash apart, look around under the hood for anything loose. I've found more than one rattle that way that I would have sworn was coming from inside the car.

Where do you think it's coming from? Around the a/c and radio? or around the shifter? Some more info would help narrow it down.

My guess is that it's not actually in the car. Check you engine bay, check under the car to see if any hangers are broken or what not. If it's only on right hand turns it could be something loss on the axle or such area.
