noise from under steering wheel

2005 Lexus ES330. Recently, I found there were "clark", "clark" noise
coming from the components under steer wheel when I made slow turns.
It happens most when I drive in a dense resident neighborhood where
you need to make a lot of slow turns, and at most time, with your foot
on the brake pad. I am not sure exactly where the noise coming from,
but it is clearly related to the steering system.

Any one has similar experience? How to fix it?

I once had a Camry with about 150,000 miles on it that emitted similar
sounds. It required replacement of the constant velocity joints.
