Default Crunching/cracking noise when turning

When ever I'm going slow and make a turn I get this awful noise. It has started to get really bad. Car is a 2000 auto ws6. Any help please!

it could be several things but i personally had a similar problem and i had a bent driveshaft. everyone says a bent driveshaft makes a lot of vibration when driving 45+mph but i had no signs of that. good luck

I think i have the same problem. When I'm backing up slowly and have the wheel turned all the way to the right, sounds like a rubbing sound on the front right or rear right, and sometimes parking with the wheel turned left, almost like when pressure is put on the passenger side. Although, my dad said he didnt hear anything outside the car, but i heard it inside, weird?

I will check everything that you guys mentioned. But if the shock or spring broke wouldnt the car bounce/rock alot after a huge bump or hard turn?

If the upper strut mount is bad it will make clunking noises at low speeds and at a stop by just turning the wheel..
