02 GS300 creaking/popping noise during slow turns

I test drove the car again today around a lot for an hour or so duplicating the noise I hear. The more I listen to it and the more opinions I get, the more it seems to be the brakes. The noise seems to be coming from the wheel/brake area but what is it about the brakes that can cause this noise? Can installing the pad fitting kit make this go away?
I have more and more reason to conclude it is the brakes because it ONLY makes the noise when the weight of the car is shifted forward during breaking and then a sharp pull left or right on the wheel. I actually used my parking break during my test run to stop the car as I was pulling into a parking spot and it did NOT make the noise! Something about pushing all that inertia and weight on the front wheels and brake area by normal braking and then turning causes the noise to happen.
Again, any thoughts would be worth their weight in gold!
