Cracking when turning the steering wheel

I just recently noticed that i hear a cracking noise when i turn the steering wheel. (similar to the D2 cracking)

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what that can be....(bearings?) I have tein S-Techs on stock struts.

Too much NYC road salt on spring hat, may have damaged bearing and hat.
Not likely a strut mount, but could be.

After raising the car, wiggle the front tire. If you have alot of play it in the tire the bearings are bad. Also while wiggling the tire, have someone look at the ball joints and struts.
