quick question..........
Hi, I have question guys, did any of you have this problem. When I make turns and at same time apply the brake I hear strange noises coming from front wheels, I was thinking maybe ball joints? But its only happen when I apply the brake, when I make turns and not touching brake I don’t hear anything. Maybe I need new rotors?
......weird

Its probably the balljoints. When you apply brakes, the weight of the car will push down on the balljoint. I had the same problem where the balljoints made a popping/clicking noise when applying the brakes while making a turn.
Get both sides replaced immediately. $120 for a pair of balljoints is cheaper than $1000 for new fender, balljoints, etc.

Tanks GSteg. il definitely going to change ball joints during this week. is it serious work should I let local auto shop do the work? How much would be labor? Going to stop by dealer tomorrow ask them about ball joints if they have in stock.
You should get the shop to check out the tie rod while you're at it.
The balljoint replacement shouldn't take more than 1.5 hours total for both sides. I replaced by balljoints without doing an alignment. Most people get an alignment after the balljoint change because they change their tie-rods at the same time
