Mysterious clunking noise under dash driver's side--what could it be? 850

I own two 97 wagons. Last spring I noticed a kind of clunking/clicking sound coming from under the dash seemingly around the window post from my GLT. I thought it was something come loose in one of the dash air vents but could never find anything. Taking off the bolster and looking up under the dash only revealed the standard snarl of wiring you can't see through.

But just the other day my 97R wagon started making the same sounds. This time I noticed it occurred when I went around a corner on a twisty road. Turn right--clunk. Turn left--clunk. Make two right hand or two left turns and no clunk on the second turn. It seems something is swinging loose like a pendulum, but what I could be I have no idea.

My friend drives a 96T wagon, and now his is starting to make the same mysterious clunking sound--almost like the sound the door locks make when you hit the lock switch on the dash, but not nearly so loud. Any ideas? Dick
