Default Front End

There is a noise coming from the front end (drivers side) when I turn my wheel, or go over bumps.
Just got new tires and a complete brake job and the noise is still there. Does anybody know what this is caused from?

Need more info. What kind of car, is the noise rubber against metal, or metal against metal ? If it's FWD with a clicking sound, it's probably the CV joint. How many miles on the car ? Were the struts replaced along with the brake job ?

Maybe its a squirrel? Yeah it would help what kind of sound, could be shocks, does it thump? or sound like rusty springs?

Definitely need more "noise" info, also, what speed do you hear it? When you turn your wheel, does it do it while sitting still, which can indicate a balljoint or even just loose nuts/bolts.
