Answers:
anyone know of a cheap place to get a smog check?
Most likely cause is a worn or failed front upper strut mount. This has a bearing inside it which allows the struts to turn with the wheels. When the bearing goes back it makes the sorts of noises you are hearing. Because the noise happens when you turn or rock the car I don't think its the struts themselves, though they should be replaced at the same time as the mounts.Another possible cause would be broken stabilizer end links or worn end link bushings on the front stabilizer bar, but I think this is less likely.

Your struts are bad.Your looking at anywhere from 50-80 bucks a piece.You can fix this yourself even if you are a novice mechanic.Struts are easy to replace,but you WILL need a spring compressor.Compressing the spings can be dangerous and is usually only done by a experienced mechanic but you can do this at home if you feel you got the know how, just be very carefull!!Either way,after the struts have been replaced the car WILL also have to be realigned at your local alignment shop too.There is no way around that one.Good luck.
Sounds like you got a front end problem!! Have a mechanic check it out on a hoist!! It could be the tie rods or the struts? But the strut maybe not full gone it could be the strut plates on the top which can be bought separately!! Good luck!!
