What causes a car to make a noise during hard left or right turns?

Answer

Sounds like worn out front wheel drive CV (constant velocity) joints. A CV joint is a flexible coupling attached to a drive axle. A front wheel drive car will have 4 of these. (2 per side)If they are making noise they probably need to be replaced.

Answer

If it is a clunking/knocking sound it could be a bad CV joint. If it is a whining sound the power steering fluid may need to be flushed, or possibly the power steering pump may even need to be replaced.

Knocking

If it is a knocking soud while turing, your problem is a rusted out strut mounting pieces, your going to need to get it fixed before it brakes and comes through the top of your wheel well.
