Sounds like a rack or sway bar issue if it only happens when turning, I'd check the bushings for both of those first, along with the sway bar links. Could also be a stressed chassis. When the car is built it travels the production line wheels-up, and that leaves the chassis in a "stressed" state that can cause weird noises later in the car's life. It can be cured by loosening and re-torqueing the subframe, rack, control arm, and subframe gusset bolts with the car wheels-down on an alignment rack, then realigning. This allows the chassis to "relax" under its own weight. Note that it must be done on a drive-on rack, a lift will leave the car wheels-up just like the factory.
