annoying front driver noise

hey guys,
once again my car is making a wierd creaking sound. kinda sounds like the rubber from the cv boots rubbing. i checked and they look fine with no tears in the boots. when i have the car in gear then accelerate and let go of the gas pedal, it starts to make a err err err sounding like rubber rubbing together. but it goes away when im accelerating. the sound comes and goes when i coast in neautral,but goes away when im applying the brakes. at times the sound is louder than others,but mostly its not that loud but annoying cuz i know its there.

i have replaced both axles, driver outter and inner tie rod, driver hub bearings and lower control arm bushings. i have also pushed back the dust shield on the brakes. car drives fine and there is no vibrations.lowered with Teins/tokico struts.

i did a search and didnt really find anything helpful that i haven't already done. insights and advice please,thanks!

roger

strut mounts, or strut bearings? if they go bad they tend to make a noise.

With everything you mentioned, I didn't notice the brakes. Also, are they wearing even? frozen guide pins?

would they actually make the noise when it sounds like a noise from motion? as in the noise only comes when the wheels are spinning and its a constant errr errr errr sound.

Are there any noises when the car is stationary (engine running, in neutral gear) and when you press the throttle?
