Ciick, Clank in front end at low speed turning

anyone else get some clicking, creaking, clanking when you turn at slow speeds like into a driveway, etc?

I saw a post regarding the hood and have greased those hinges... are there any grease points on the control arms or anything else down there I can hit?

thanks-

Sounds

Sounds like what I had going on, took it into the shop the foreman thought it would be a simple fix, said he tightened something I think he said torshen bars and I never heard it again.

I know I spelled that wrong
