wierd suspension / steering problem

Car- completely stock 2001 civic 4dr auto.

issue- my tires sound like i have 30" tires on it...i just recently replaced them and im still getting this noise...i was blamming it on my tires for so long..now i know its not the tires. I had a friend in the car and he seems to think its comming from the front left side of the car only. Right now we think it could possibly be the wheel bearing.

issue#2 i hear a "clunk" noise say after my car has been sitting over night...and i turn the steering wheel when the car isnt moving..sound like suttin is loose..after it clunk's it doesnt do it again...and it might do it if im turning into my driveway ..on a sudden bump...im not sure if its a strut or a steering rack/tie rods seem ok??

issue #3 I also was reading up that honda was using some type of plastic bearing on the oem strut??? Can i replace this with an aftermarket strut to solve this problem? if so which brands.. KYB? any info is appreciated

Issue #1 - Tires overinflated

Issue #2 - There have been many members who have had the clunking problem. For many, the noise was caused by the spring seat.

Issue #3 - I have no clue.
