Axle? Strut mounts? Bushings?

So i got this 1996 maxima auto.
I have this problem that seems to be with my axle. Mechanic told me it was but my axle does not click. When i am taking a curve or making a right turn it makes this squeaking sound but as soon as i take the turn and its a straight drive sound is gone. Sound is from the left side only and the mechanic showed me the left side axle was bad. So is that a symptom for a bad axle? I thought it was only a clicking sound that means its worn out? Another problem i dont know if its related is on park with the car turned on my car makes a creaking sound exactly like in this video.
The sound actually went away when i changed lower control arms and all four struts. the sound came back about 3 days after.
I have no idea what it is? Any help would be great thanks.
ps: i dont think its the power steering. level fluid is good.

That's either a bushing or a ball joint, not your axles.
