Steering bump stops... They make frightening loud metallic crackling noise (at extreme turning position only). A small amount of heavy grease eliminates it forever.

The stopper actually made out of plastic, so its pretty possible it sounds like that. Also, makes sense to check if the tire's not hitting the protecting shield in the wheel well.
