Default grinding/clunking noise up front

hey fellas. today i was driving the z. and i noticed when i go slow on turns i could sometimes hear a grinding/squeaking noise up front somewhere. but when im crusing like around 40+ plus or so its fine. im thinking its the creaking, noise that these cars come with. but not sure. car does drive fine.

1. Grease/lube sway bar bushings. Drive and check again.

2. Jack car up, (put on jackstands), front wheels off ground, and grab tire at 12 & 6 and shake tire. Feel for play, if so, hub is bad.

3. Recent brake job??? Check for anti-rattle shims in between pads/calipers.
