Unhappy Clicking/Creaking noise from the front tire

Hello again,
I have an '06 TL that makes a clicking sound from the front left wheel when at full turn left and right (but not as loud as left). I am not convinced it is a CV shaft yet because it sounds different to me almost as if it were the creaking sound the lug nuts make when I torque them down. I also swapped lug nuts when I rotated my tires and the sound is quieter. I took a small video of it and you can clearly hear it. Can lug nuts make noises like this or does this sound like a CV? The car has about 65,000 miles on it. Thanks for your help

I should also mention that I put the car up on jacks and while in gear I turned the wheels side to side with no noise at all.
