I'm hearing a popping/grinding noise while taking a slow turn, such as pulling into a driveway or parking space. It also happens when backing out, then straightening to drive. I just replaced brake pads, rotors, LF wheel bearing, and front axel assembly. I also had the u-joints checked. Thinking it may be in the suspension at this point. I think I need new bearing hubs.

This is most likely a bearing noise but here is a guide on grinding noises that will help confirm this:

However, I agree that this is a bearing noise so here is a guide that will help with step by step instructions on how to replace this:

Can you clarify which bearing you replaced when you say you replaced the left front wheel bearing? That is the hub bearing so if the noise on the left side?

Below is the process from the manual on how to replace this. Please let us know if this is what you replaced and if it is we can dig further.

Thanks
