Hello,

Since you hear the noise when you turn it is likely related to the tie rod ends.
Worn suspension components can also make loud noises, when they have weight loading and unloading.
Worn bushings can lead to excessive movement and metal on metal contact, which will lead to noise issue.

Take a look at this article, it covers the typical noise issue with the suspension:

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
