Steering Noise 2006 K12

Grinding noise has developed when swinging steering to right only, even when car stopped. Have checked track rod ball joints inners and outers and even steering rack bolts without finding source.
Noise only occurs at beginning of swing. Could be rack itself but hope not. Any ideas ?

Possibly the bearings at the top of the struts? (Dunno what they're called, the ones that allow the shocks to turn as you steer). They were dead graunchy on my dad's previous 'rolla but he never did let me change them for him.

Thanks Guy, for comments,
Eventually sourced problem at footwell inside car. Pinchbolt on lower steering shaft knuckle joint was slightly loose.This produced "knocking" sound even though steering very positive with no slack. Big relief !
Figured out what a Rolla was too!
