front suspension noise

OK, I took a movie clip.

I thought it is front strut.
But I think it is something else.


OK, this is a symptom.
- It Noise only morning and after work(so when it is cold)
- When steering turns fully to right or left then I can hear noise.
- It is more like Skeeeeki kind of noise.

Here is the movie clip at the parking lot this morning.

and this is a picture of wheel position.

What do you think?

Its your strut upper mount. They both should need replacing. When they are worn then the struts are too because of mileage. I had similar noise and problem. Hope it helped. Cost me around $250 in parts and doing it myself with everything, I even paid an extra $100 for the strut braces from waymotorworks.
