Default Park car for ten days, now there is a mysterious noise from front suspension when turning wheel?

I parked my car for ten days, come back, and now there is a mysterious sound from the front suspension when you turn the wheel right at low speeds.

Sounds almost like sticking a stick through a rotating bicycle wheel, a sort of creaky clicking if that makes sense.

Only difference is that it was in the 30s when I parked it, and now it's in the 50s, any idea what this is?

I have PSS9's, stock swaybars.

Maybe...but it sounds more mechanical than the PS fluid being low, I'll check tommorow. Thanks!

check for spring binding and/or perhaps tie rods. Also check all links.

What causes spring binding? Is there a remedy?

Default could be a spring that loses strength, could be a gasket has come lose...

or seperated, or it could be anything else in there. Get it up with the wheel off to inspect everything closely and give everything a good tug and check with the wrench. Ive even had my lower air tray rub on the swaybar area and make a little clunking noise.
