my 987 has been having a similar problem, but it's more when driving or going over bumps.
What caught my eye in your video was when you pressed down on the car it made the noise. That's what I have been doing to mine to demonstrate the noise.
I followed the advice here and spraying WD40 under the rubber on the ball joint, hope that solves it, at least until i can schedule some time with the shop

The noise happens mainly in the hot weather, or if the car had been driven for some time if the weather is cold. It is very annoying and at times, through town very embarrassing!
The noise predominantly occurrs whilst turning Right and the noise is fairly global around the inner workings of behind the wheel.
To try and fix this squeaking / creaking noise, I have sprayed grease all around the area and joints etc but this has not resolved the issue.
Please, if anyone has encountered this problem and knows of a fix - I would be very grateful!
I have uploaded a video with the noise on Youtube, at this link:

Thank you for your time.
