front end making clunking noise after changing axel

hey guys, I have a 2015 535i x-drive that I have been having axel problems. I have just changed my front driver side axle with a diff fluid change but every once in a while I hear a weird clunk when I'm turning. and also when im doing a u-turn with the wheel locked out you hear a slit clunk every few seconds. the axel is tourqed down to spec and I have triple checked if the axel is in all the way. so I don't know what to do from here.

thanks

Bad wheel bearing

possible bad ball joints and bushings. Take it to a shop put it on a lift and have them check for slop.

The wheel bearing is pretty new I changed it a few hundred miles ago but I didn’t check for bushing I’ll have to do that. Thank you
