Noise when backing up turningto the right

I hear this noise from the front left when I am back up turning to the right. It always does it when I back up or turn to the left going forward. It seems like something is rubbing or metalbanging into another peice. I do not know what this noise is. Any help would be great! :

I know exactly what you mean. I have that same noise, took it to the dealer under warranty, they changed out a lower ball joint and the center steering linkage. The noise never really went away, I just get tired of the dealer thing. Someday I hope to find the source and fix it myself. If anybody has any idea's, post them. Thanks

A couple of ideas guys. First, look at the steering stops (little metal knubs sticking off the back of the lower control arm). Sometimes the spindle rubs these and if there is no grease on them then it makes a noise. Next is the lower contorl arm rear bolt. Check and see if it has looked like it has moved. I know on some Lightnings and a few F150 it gets loose and moves and makes a noise. Let me know what you find.
