Creaking noise when turning the steering wheel, also clunk noise
 
Ok, I've read similar post here but nothing I feel is to the point. I recently been experiencing a creaking noise when turning the steering wheel, at first when I turn it to the left, but now it goes both ways. It appears only when the car is 'cold' but seems to go away after driving a bit. Noise goes on both stationary and mobile, and now it has gotten louder and worse. This last time when trying to duplicate the sound to get it on video, there was an obvious clunking noise too. Any ideas, maybe experiences relating my problem and maybe a solution? Thanks!

Jack the car up and do the same, sounds like strut mount to me

Resolved: dealership said the creak was strut mounts and the clunking was the inner tire rod. They ordered parts so after the repair ill check if problem went away. Good thing cus my warranty ends in March. :) thanks guys.
