OMG What on Earth is this steering NOISE?!

Please listen to the linked file. This was recorded with my phone inside the drivers-front wheel arch - where the noise is eminating from, when steering to the right.

 

It happens with the engine on or off (PAS therefore off).

 

I am thinking perhaps the bushes on one of the A-arms. I hope not, I just sold my set of suspension arms before they even arrived.

 

Anyway, have a listen and let me know what you think. Best to have the volume up loud.

It seems to be coming from one of the balljoints.

 

If I'm lucky it will be the tie-rod end. I suspect however, that it's the Lower-Control-Arm balljoint, since the rubber boot has a cut in it and has probably lost all its grease.

 

Does anybody know if they can be regreased?
