Default Steering noises

Ive got a crack-crack-crack sound when doing tight turns in car parks, going over speed bumps... I think it on the L/H side... Its in the steering or suspension.... As time goes on its getting louder and more often...... Any suggestions ?

First thing would be to remove the tire on that side and visually inspect if you have not done so already. What size tires are you running?

I would be looking at sway bar endlinks, sway bar bushings, rack bushings, tie rod ends, and especially LOWER BALL JOINTS.
