Hi everyone,
I could use a little bit of advice here. I've got a loud groaning noise that sounds like rubber or a bearing or maybe even the spring making noise. The noise occurs when the wheel is turned (it normally only occurs on the driver side but I have heard it on the passenger side as well). It's not 100% consistent, but it also makes the noise when I drive up the uneven parking garage at my work so the suspension is traveling when it makes the noise. It does occur when the vehicle is off so it's not the power steering and I've already replaced the following to try to cure the noise:
Wheel hubs
Ball joints (control arm to spindle)
Inner and outer tie rods
End links
Bearings in the camber plates
Computer inept, can't figure out how to inbed, so here's links to the sounds. One video with suspension loaded the other with it unloaded.

At this point the only thing that hasn't been replaced is the control arm and the strut/spring assembly. Is it possible this is my strut making the noise or is there something I'm missing?
