When I take a left turn not sharp but long lefts, I hear what sounds like a bird chirping or the largest cricket on earth, was told it may be the anti rattle clips getting into the rotor? Anyone dealt with this before?

yeah man, i feel your pain. thing is i get it on every turn at this rate and more so if it is a sharp turn. but the sound description you have sounds like what i have. I know my struts suck so figured maybe they were squeaking like that with weight on them and someone else on here mentioned outer tie rod ends. I dont think it is ball joints, in my situation atleast :/
