Default Snap, crackle, pop. help please

Things I've replaced on my car:
struts
swaybar and swaybar links
Both control arms
Inner and outer tierods

Here are my symptoms:
​​​​​​when turning the wheel either way with the brake applied I get a popping sound in the front

​​​when accelerating from a stop sign or light, I hear a pop,pop,pop in the front end.

When reversing and turning the wheel all the way to the left I hear these rubbing sound that is continuous until I stop.

Also while driving slow in parking lots or my driveway I hear this high pitched squeak sound.

All of these seem to be coming from the drivers side and I'm lost, it's sounds awful

Wheel hubs are pretty common on these cars, and most likely the issue.

The wheel hub bearings were replaced 2 years ago. This noise is most prominent when I'm sitting at idle in park with the brake applied and turning the wheel left to right or vice versa there is a single pop that could be heard I've tried everything

It could be the front drive axle. Check the boot for any tears/rips. If any debris or dirt gets in there it can damage the joint.

It ended up being the right rear wheel hub bearing it helps to have a helper to identify the noise
