If it crunches and snaps more so on sharp turns, that would be the CV joints are worn out. You might also have the wheel bearings checked for looseness/wear on this older car, especially if the mileage is above say 150K. If all that checks out, then look at the struts....turn the wheel while it's up on the hoist checking wheel bearings.
