As "thedrill" has said,very likely the top strut bearing.These are a high failure item.This is basically a "puck" of rubber with a ball bearing imbedded in it to support the top of the suspension inside the strut tower.The shock absorber shaft passes thru the bearing to allow rotation of the strut.There are several different grades,black,green and blue,the latter being the strongest.There is also a spherical bearing replacement now available in the UK.These will last 10 times longer than the OEM units,but of course are more expensive.
Possibly also the "A" arm (wishbone) bushes have failed.These need carefully pressing out and either OEM or polyurathane replacements fitted.
