The rattle can be felt if you grap the steering column. Replaced power steering pump and pulley if anyone has suggestion lay em on me
Automatic or manual trans? Manual trans could be throwout bearing. Other moving parts at idle that have bearings - alternator, a/c compressor, water pump. Auto parts store or harbor freight sells stethoscope to listen to stuff like that. Use it to determine where sound comes from. Careful when using near moving parts.
Testimonial: "automatic trans, I have narrowed it down to the steering column, when at idle if you grab the shifter you can feel it and also move it slightly forward or back and the noise will change slightly. If you shift to neutral the noise stops"

CV joint has gotten debris and moisture inside. The CV boot is bad and not protecting the joint. Now its metal on metal grinding. This happens when turning as there is more pressure on the joint. Please fix this ASAP as it can be dangerous to drive on a bad CV joint. While I have seen people drive with a bad CV joint for over 4k miles, it is NOT recommended!
SOURCE: the left front hub/bearing assembly
The hub bearing is usually pressed in and can be pressed too much and damaged.
Also,you may want to check to see if your brakes are worn out on the front which could also be making this noise.

If this sounds like a tin can rattle it is likely a loose heat shield on top of the catalytic converter. They come loose after time and corrosion take their toll.
SOURCE: Grinding/Low Whining noise when turning
sounds like the power sterring pump check valve is failing because it only when you turn, try to turn the wheels standing still to verify the noise, if noise present, replace the ps pump.

With the information given this is not a sure solution. Questions that need to be asked is when does this happen, turning at slow speedm high speed, when hitting a pot hole etc? Since you have replaced a lot of things already, assuming you have NEW good quality parts so you did not replace bad parts with new bad parts i would definitelu check the pitman arm. This runs from the stering gear to the tierod. It can give you some good clunks while steering, especially at low speed when there is a lot of resistance. Check it by having someone turning the steering wheel when watchin/feeling it.
