Name that noise!

I've been trying to track down the source of this noise. Only does it when the car is on the ground. Also only used to happen when coming to/from a stop, now happens even when turning the wheel at a standstill. Only happens on the O/S/F wheel. Here is a little clip I have made.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a ball joint sticking. Maybe slightly loose steering rack.

I checked the steering rack bolts and they were all tight. Then I whipped the wheel off to have a poke about...turns out when I asked someone to replace all the control arms and tie rod ends,they forgot about the tie rod part. Pretty sure that could be the cause. Bit pissed off. There's a reason I like everything replaced at the same time. Need the car for holiday dog transport on Friday, so I'll have to get someone to do it quick tomorrow!

I had the same problem and I replaced all the arms then I ended up replacing the knuckle and that got rid of the noise..
