How will you know?
i wanted to know how will know when your front axles and your wheel bearings are going out? for some reason, when im driving on the road then whenever i make a turn even thou its not a wide turn, im feeling and hearing a rough popping nosie in the front of my car.
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

ok then. i took it to the dealer and the guy looked at my car had said that my front two axles was going out, then he said wheel bearings, a tie rod end, clutch even thou the clutch is slipping bc i rev it up and when it get close to 4k rpm im hearing a noise, but the clutch is going to be changed. but yep i hear and feel that noise when i turn and even when i stop and put it in first gear, i might hear it.
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
