Default 2006 suspension or transmission

So I have a 2006 Mazda 3. It makes clunking, kinda clicking sounds coming from front driver side wheel. Any bumps are real bad. I've replaced struts, control arm, sway links, tie rods,.. then I was changing the axle. It was pretty loose. But stuck tight in the hub. Broke it in half trying to get it out. I was cleaning the area where it goes into the transmission, noticed the spinal were kinda wiggly. I installed the new axle. It's still too loose. Still making noise just a little less. Looking for any input
Ty

Welcome to the forum.

You may want to go to a Firestone in your area and have it inspcted. They should be able to indicate the exact problem and then you can DIY service it.
But to internet diagnose it all you are going to get are all the possible service areas to look at which seems you did most all of them. The thing you likely can't do is raise you Mazda on a lift that drops the suspension down and do an inspection.
