Sounds like a ball joint. they're cheap and easy to replace. They are the one thing that a lot of people overlook.

Could be clocksprings, no big deal, they go out after a while and make noise, they are located in the steering wheel and have something to do with your steering wheel controls like cruise, stereo controls, airbagetc. Shouldn't hurt anything if they are noisy. Your post is vague so this is just a suggestion.

It sounds like it is something to do with the thing called steering gear tube bracket. That is what mine was. They are like 3 or 4 dollars. Search the site that is how I find out how to fix it.
