I have a front end issue,

Every bump I hit on the front left makes a clunk/pop. When I turn it clunk/snap/crack/pops also. Feels like am arm. Like a sway bar or something.

Heres a big clue:
When I brake and turn to the left slightly, the entire wheel feels like it is folding over and the car skids with very little brake effort. I've felt bad Tension rods before and this isn't it. It doesn't clack when you press the brake, there is no braking slop or movement when braking straight.

Name that part pls

Stuff I changed alrdy just this month:
Strut mounts
struts (AGX new)
control arm bushings ES
sway bay / end links SIKKY
ball joints MOOG
Tension rods OEM
stock height, stock springs (it isnt the spring)
stock brakes too

If I can fix this, I can finally align the car, put tires on it, brakes, and get on with my life. sheesh!
