If it happens when you turn while driving, it could be a broken sway bar link. Try to hear if it's coming from the pass. or driver side and check underneath next to the wheel (or just check both). Can be hard to spot sometimes but usually is hanging by one end with hardware missing. Cheap to replace, quick to fix.

Sounds like the power steering pump has failed.
You could take the serpentine belt off and check the pump pulley.

check front-end out, immediately, could be a bad bushing/ control arm, this would need attention, asap, you could lose control of vehicle, or somethingelse is broken, shock, but the control arm / bushing is my bet. get it repaired, unsafe condition !!!

I agree with the axle CV joint choice.
Could also be a brake or wheel bearing failure, but the CV joint is the most likely given the symptoms.

check the universal joint on the bottom of the steering collum, put one hand ether side of it an twist see if there is any play in it you can also see if it is stiff/seized these will both cause a noise

try the stabilizer link. remove both of them drive around, if the sound is gone replace them

hi you may have two problems.the banging noise can be either struts/shocks or ball joints.as for stiff steering can be either power steering. or ball joints.bad ball joints can make a banging moise and make it stiff when turnning the wheels.

it could be tht the exhaust pipe is loose and therefor makes shaking and kinda banging noise. hope i helped! ;-)
