For what it's worth, I had a similar problem on my 74 Mustang II.  I experienced
noise on turns, nobody seemed to be able to figure it out until the car was
put up on a rack.  It turns out the bozos who had replaced the starter (a FORD
dealer, of course) had failed to use washers (lock washers???) and two of the
three bolts were missing, with the third loose.  The starter was flapping
around, and when starting, didn't always engage, just made a clattering
noise, as well as the noise when turning.  This may not be the cause of
your problem, but it's worth a check.
