I had a noise like this since the car was new (92 900S).
I avoid turning with the steering wheel fully locked.
Bentley has a clue (pg. 774-7):
Note - Some cars (up through mid-1990 models)may experience a clunking or snapping noise at the wheel when backing up at low speeds with the steering in full lock, as when parking. Most likely caused by the wheel bearing sliding back and forth in the steering member. Install a new bearing and the appropriate shims.
In other words, there's a design flaw so throw some shims in there to compensate. I think this problem wasn't corrected by the time they built my car, even though bentley says mid-1990's -- and mine happens while turning at slow speeds, going forward.
Something to consider.
