I had the same noise on the right hand side when turning or going over small bumps. I put the front of the car on jack stands and proceeded to grab and shake everything in the front suspension I could. Turned out to be a loose drop link on the right side. I got very lucky. I ended up looking up the torque spec and just tightening it up. That was over 2 years ago and it's still quiet to this day. Good luck.

The creaking sound upon turning the wheel can indicate that there could be a leak in the power steering line. If there is a higher pitch noise along with the creaking, it can be your power steering pump trying to pump the liquid that could be leaking.

As for the clunks when full lock, definitely get your lower balljoints checked out. I had a friend nearly died due to damn balljoints.
