Have a noise when turning right, only when turning right, happens at all speed, i think i can pinpoint it to the top of the strut? i put some white lithium grease on there but it doesnt seem to help, do i need to replace this strut? any input would be appreciated , thanks, jake

Try pouring a little motor oil instead of the white lithium grease.

check your cv joints and grease all the zircks on both sides

thanks guys, will try these methods

CV joints will be a long shot at best. Concentrate on the stut and the hub/bearing assembly for now, get on the car and shake things. Jack up that side and wobble the tire around.

thanks for the input guys, the motor oil trick worked, no more noise!

The motor oil trick will only work for so long. You'll have to keep adding more. Eventually the oil will cause the rubber to deteriorate and you will have to replace the strut mounts. The trick is just to hold you over for a while. Good luck.
