Knocking noise when turning

Car was fine yesterday this morning (maybe cause it’s cold? About 16 degrees) I turned on my car let it sit warm up etc and I get a weird knocking noise as I turn out my drive way. For whatever reason I can upload the video from my iPhone but when I wiggly the steering wheels I can hear it when I’m stopped and then to the left I hear it. Any suggestions as to what it could be?

Upload your video to YouTube then link it here.

Upper strut bearing would be the first place I looked if it sounds high.
I thought of that just very strange... didn’t really drive yesterday literally just moved it out of the drive way but I’ll be taking it somewhere hopefully Monday (Presidents’ Day might screw me)

I vote for the strut also.
So funny that you mention this I also figured strut as the day got warmer the noise disappeared... super strange but I’ll monitor it a little more throughout the week. It was around 12 degrees when I posted that video with the noise
