My money is still on the axle. Binding due to a higher angle dropped, but fine at stock height.

I think it's that too since it's only with gas pushed. What kind of axles can handle a car with it very low? It wasn't too low but low enough to bottom out while going up on a driveway if I drive straight in only. I think axles I got in there are autozone ones

Everyone is g@y for Raxles around here. I've never lowered a car, so that's all I can tell you.

However you should be starting with that single nut like asand1 said. Its just a nut. A monkey could do it. Start with the little things and work your way up from there, you dont even know if the control arms need to be replaced.
I like you.

Just an update for my similar problem...

I had both axles replaced over the weekend and that solved the knocking noise issue. Unfortunately, it appears one (or both) of the axles is defective so I have a vibration when accelerating in 2nd gear from 2-2.5k RPM now. These axles were from AdvancedAuto. One box came pretty beat up with some minor damage to the dust boot and spline on one box. Had them install it anyway, so that may be the reason for the vibration. I contacted Raxles before ordering the AZ ones and they did not offer them anymore.


edit: thought they were from Autozone , but they were from AdvancedAuto.

I checked and took apart my lowering springs from strut and found out that the right side the man didn't put my strut bearing. Idk where that bearing is. The left side had the bearing. Still money is on axles? It's during acceleration only though when doing left turns and noise from right side and that's the side without the bearing
