FRONT END CREEKING NOISE 2001 X5

[JahBoundry]

What's up X5 family... Hope you're all doing well. I recently fixed several suspension issues and now I have a new one! While turning the wheel, typically when passing the center position, I'm getting a creeking noise (sounds like something needs lubricating) . Any assistance is greatly appreciated. My gut says stabalizer link but they're less than a year old. Would hub bearing cause this?

Ps: is their a difference between a stabalizer link and sway bar link ?

Recent repairs:

Both front axle shafts, lower & upper control arms, tie rod ends, drive shaft flex disk and center mount (annoying quick knocking in floor when coming out of 2nd gear), trans pan gasket an fresh fluid (took about 17 quarts), brake pads & rotors...
