Help! ( car noises )

Ok guys, I know this is VERY VERY random and open but, my car is making wierd noises, over bumps and when you turn the steering wheel ( often but not always ).. I am tired of people telling me they don't know what it is and would have do replace stuff one by one..... had enough, going to replace it all, What are like the 5 or 10 Top things that can be related to such a noise... Creaking and churning in the front left drivers side...

I am thinking:

Bushings
Lower Control Arm
Struts
Springs
Inner Tie Rod

What else should I replace in one hit?

I found out awhile ago that when I wear my seatbelt, and drive over bumps that it (the bottom of the seatbelt), creeks. Took me forever to finally figure it out. I don't know about turning though...

my seat belt makes the same noise and over bumps or when i move around. I couldnt figure it out at first but then realized ti was the seat belt. Maybe take a closer look and mabe its just your seat belt and you can save yourself a lot of money right now.

I hear noises also. I just turn the radio up and drown them out. I haven't heard the seatbelt make a noise though. Have you had any suspension work done? Or maybe your wheels might rub a little bit.

maybe the shop who did some work on your car after the acciendent can help you out, or you can take it back and complain they did a bad job?

i have that dammed seatbelt noise too.. but the only thing i could think of with kromix's situation is either with his springs and/or rubbing issues with the wheel. but since you said that you have no suspension mods done, then its probably due to your accident and the way the shop fixed it. did you get hit the same place where its making the sounds?
