I think it's definitely your axles. Riding around slammed on those D2's probably destroyed em lol.

Sounds like axles. Replace them with Raxles, nothing else.

You're not too far from me. If you want to take a drive down I can have a look. Let me know

While your down there check your ball joints. That could be the clunk noise you hear when your a full stop.

All depends on how they did the axle. If they removed the 2 lower strut bolts. then yes. If they went via balljoint and left strut bolts alone, you may be able to get away without one.

Yea, I'd check with 2 of the same wheel before you jump to conclusions.
