Noise from front end when braking and turning

I read the comments from liberty555, and I am sure that is the same problem I have.
Description of the problem I have now: the noise occurs when i am braking and turning with very low speed around a corner.
For example you brake as you are turning a corner or pull into your drive way.
The noise is sort of a "creak...creak...creak" as the wheel turns, then as you turn back. After my last visit at LR, I hear also a new noise like a "a tak" at the end of the noise "creak...creak..."
I agree with liberty555 that is funny thing. If you brake before the corner and go around off the brakes, there is no noise. In a carpark where you are steering and on end off the brakes, it occurs frequently.
I have this problem from shortly after the car was new.
When the car was new the noise was very low.
I said the problem at LR and they told me that is not a exactly a problem and to not worry because when the noise will increase they will fix that.
After I visit LR for 5-6 times, they decide to change the brake pads, and I don't know what they did else the noise decreased (you had to paid more attention to hear something). That good news was for a week only.
I visit them again that it was the last time until now.
Result : as I said before, the problem is bigger than ever before and in addition at the end of "creak...creak..." you can hear also a noise like "tak" at once.
I started to worry about that. From our description must be easy for them to sort the problem and solve it. I am sure that they know how it works the system down there by using the brakes or not using them and turn...
if there is any solution for the above problem, please let me know.
Roumbis.

I had the same things before I changed my wheels and I could also feel it though the floor pan but only if I turn right and also at low speed
When I changed my wheels over I found the wheel nuts on the front drivers side where slightly lose one was almost ready to come off Rolling Eyes
Since I changed my wheels the noise had gone, but last week in a multi car park I felt and heard it again and for some strange reason I checked the wheel nuts on the front left and to my horror one was lose and one needed 4 turns in Rolling Eyes
Tightened them up and the noise disappeared Whistle

Not saying this is the problem you have but might be worth checking the wheel nuts..

I have now had all nuts on all 4 wheels tightened the right way and at the proper setting by the garage BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Same problem on my MY13, just clocked up 3000 miles and only noticed this noise in the past couple of weeks. It's booked in for the stealer to have a look at. I think it could have something to do with the breaks as it doesn't happen under normal turning/acceleration, only braking and turning.

I read some comments from hadjista for a strange noise from front axle.
I don't know if the front axles has to do with the problem I have when I braking and turning.
I don't know how it works down there the system of axles, of brakes, steering etc....
Dear hadjista I wait for your comments please.

Hi all, sorry for the slow reply. Dropped the car in at the dealers a few weeks ago and took it for a spin with one of the technicians. He seemed to think the sound was more central rather than to to the o/s. He suggested that it was simply the forces in play due to cornering 'at speed'. I mentioned the wheel nut issue that has been raised and they agreed to check it over. Picked it up at the end of the day, nothing apparent with suspension or drive train but they did re-torque all the wheels, interestingly the sound appears to have gone so could be a simple fix.
