Noise When Making a Hard Turn

My car continues to be a pain in the ***. When making a hard turn, say a u-turn either left or right, my car makes this weird noise. I can't exactly explain it, it's not a creaking, or a rattle, but it sounds maybe more like a popping. If anything, for those of you who watch Top Gear, it's the sound James May's Jensen made when he was on full lock in the British roadsters challenge (specific I know, but I just watched it). As for parts, the entire front suspension, and I mean everything, has been changed but the wheel bearings. I understand that that could be the culprit, but since it's happening on both sides. That would be that both sides need to be replaced? I just need an idea of what is happening. $3,000 and my car's suspension is still sounds like a piece of junk.

You're in the GS section. But on the RX there are several things that can be the cause. There are ball joints, tie rod ends, cv axles, and upper strut mounts that all move with the steering. There are also engine and a trans mounts that could be the cause if it's more of a transition in weight from forward to backward movement. A continued clicking or popping when turning is usually a cv axle on a FWD. A single pop is likely a binding ball joint or upper strut mount. You should probably just take it in for a suspension check. Some RXs are AWD and there is a driveshaft and rear diff to consider too.
