Doesn't bother me
If I had to do it again though....
Only seems to happen when turning to the right...
Sounds almost like something impacting the undercarriage.

As they say "ignorance is bliss".

Have you checked the Watts linkage bushes?

As an outside possibility there was a TB covering creak/knock from the left rear of the chassis resulting from a chassis spacer moving. Description sounds like it could be similar to what you are getting.

Checked nothing yet, too hot, although it's cooling down now.
That chassis spacer seems to have veeeery similar symptoms.
Looks like quite a serious issue

Not sure if it is that serious. Check the official time allowance for the repair: 30 minutes.

It does seems to be quite similar to the description of your problem, although I'd do a check of the other suspects before taking the drill to the chassis!

There is a similar issue with a loose spacer near where the steering box mounts that results in groans and creaks when moving lock to lock. I often wonder how many of the incurable steering noises are down to that one.
