My Car is Making a “Clanky” noise

Old friend of mine told me this one.
Used to have an old gal stop by the garage where he worked and have her wheel covers rotated so that they all were " aligned " squarely when she stopped.
Couldn't get it through her head about how one wheel turns faster through a turn / curve or whatever.
They just jacked up the car and rotated the tires so all 4 were the same and she was happy.
Did it every week for several years.
True story.
