I have a 2011 Chevy impala LT 153000 and the driver wheel seems to lock up every time I make a u-turn or a real hard left with the wheel turned all the way left only. I already changed the wheel hub bearings two weeks ago and changed the abs module plus I got an alignment today and it’s still doing it what could it be?

Your CV axles are most likely shot if they're still the OEM units. Cranking the wheel as far to the left or right as possible produces the most strain on your CV joints. When the CV joint starts to fail, you'll notice it when you turn tightly. The CV axle was covered with grease and had a boot. It's leaked out. There's a lot more resistance affecting the wheel when the steering wheel is almost locked vs traveling straight ahead.
Thank you I will have that checked out asap and report back here thanks
In addition to checking your CV axles, if those are OK check your power steering fluid level and pressure.
