Default knock still there

hello everyone i had a knocking sound coming from the front side. i took it to the dealer and they told me my lower control arms and sway links were bad so i bought complete control arm kit and the wheel bearings and replaced it but the problem is still there. every time i turn left then right it makes the noise. in the morning its not so bad but when it gets hot then it does it more often. I lifted the front end up and had someone move the steering wheel left and right while I was listening to it, and it seems like the noise is coming from inner tie rod.I searched the forum and found a lot of people say the cv joint needs to be replaced.
any ideas?

did you check your power steering fluid level? i am not sure if it would make a knocking sound if you were low on it but it would make a weird noise when turning the steering wheel.

check the bolts holding your power steering rack and the outer tie rod joints...
