I think you need upper turning bearings. Your car has strut suspension. You can feel the spring grip and release when some one turns the wheel. Klunk klunk as you steer left then right. The lower ball joint might also be worn.

Hey there more than likey that upper strut plate is bad and making noise when turring left or right...So when you can take it in or (if you can do it your self) replace the struts and plate's at the same time...
As for the lower ball joints IF theres any play(movement) then they need to be replace..Also you will need to get a aligment..
Hope this help...

on that one you don't have upper ball joints ,only lower ones ,on the upper end you have the strut tower ,and on top of the strut you have a bearing plate,those will get worn,and will make a popping noise so id have it checked out real good if you think there might be a problem with it,good luck on it.

could be you'r CV axles. try this to find out. find a vacant parking lot,then turn you steering wheel all the way to the left,and go in a cycle,then repeat this to the right, you don't have to go fast. if you here a clicking nose then theirs your problem,cv axle.
