The usual problem with these cars is wear on the top strut mounts. On full lock there is the most play and therefore the most movement.
It is an mot fail and will cause excesive wear on your tyres..
Get a local garage to raise the front wheels and, using a lever, see how much play ther is.
Of course, with roads in their current condition, you could have a broken coil spring etc.
Any noises which are not usual for your car should be looked at by a competent garage.
