clunking noise full steering wheel lock

i have this problem for the past couple of months where i can hear and feel a clunking noise around the passenger side of the car when i full lock the steering wheel, on low speed (0-20 km/h). The frequency of the noise happens after one full rotation of the wheel, its like there is a spot that interferes and every 360 degrees it can be heard. The noise does not happen when the car is stationary and i turn the wheels and sometimes its more prominent when i get it out of the garage where i need to full lock the wheels and the car is still cold. When the car is warm it rarely does it so when i took it to a mechanic he could not hear the noise and he did not see anything weird when he lifted the car. The cv joints cover is not damaged at all but is there a possibility it needs to be greased?

Edit, squeaking noise can be heard, when pushing down the car on the wind on the passenger side, as the car bounces. Suspension is tein (1 year old) so i doubt thats it and Sway Bar Bushings have been oiled and it still makes that noise.
