Clunking/clicking when coming to a complete stop or turning the steering wheel

My 2016 maxima sv has around 26000 miles on it. It started making this clicking/clunking noise when coming to a complete stop. The noise come in when vehicle is driven for 10-15 minutes and is warmed up. The same noise is heard when stopped at a red light in turning the steering wheel in either direction.
Took it to dealer and they replaced the upper strut bearings on both sides. But it did not resolve the noise. Went back and then I was told that when coming to a stop and turning the steering wheel the spring assembly was moving. So they replaced front springs with top mounts and dust boots.
Noise is still present. Any suggestions ?

I don't have any helpful info on this topic at the moment, but I'd love to know what dealership this is and where... Because that is the most proactive dealership I've ever heard of... They're not giving you the old "that's normal" routine and sending you on your way. Which is very good

Back to the dealer it should go, but this time let them do the test drive after they think the problem is fixed.

I live in BC Canada. The dealer is in Surrey BC,"JONKER NISSAN". I am going in tomorrow and leaving the vehicle with them. Hopefully they resolve it this time.
