- Right here, right now.
Inspect your coil springs for cracking. Although I don't think it's going to be your particular issue, it's a possibility. Have you visually inspected things with the steering at full lock left?

Next time you do that 'maneuver' try doing it with the door open a bit.
I had a sound like that that I could not work out where it was coming from and I'm sure in the end it was the door (or seals or summat) creaking as the chassis slightly flexed. Sound didn't happen with the door open.
