Think it could be a bad cv joint?

components. the bottom of the spring and the strut housing love to make that goddam noise

Default when moving or at stand still? could be damper or there is a mount on the pass side where rack
mounts up.

was talked about last fall

Bad strut mount? Steering rack attachment point failure(s)? Bad subframe mounts?
