usually when axles go out, they will make a clicking/popping sound when turning
wheel bearings will usually sound like a low squeal

since you say your problem is only when you turn im 99% sure its an axle bro

If it is a click click sound and happens only during turning usually it would be the CV joint.

usually axles go out because the CV boot ripped and all the grease spill out and the joint gets dry up.. so jack the car up and look at your cv boot if its ripped then replace it or else your axles will go out.

just an FYI...before u pay an arm and a leg for new oem axles, call up AWDmotorsports and ask them if they have a used set. They usually do and i got a nice used set from them for about 1/4 the price of new oem ones.

it is uncommon for both wheel bearings to go at the same time. so if the noise only happens when you turn in one direction then id say bearing. Axles tend to be more noticeable at slow speeds then a wheel bearing try cutting the wheel all the way to one side and go in slow circle. if your axles is bad you should feel small amounts of binding and noises

yeah just look around for them, or you could even pay the extra and upgrade them i think buschur sells them... but i suppose if your not planning on going too crazy than yeah just try to find a used axle..
