bumping noise when turning left please help!!!

ok so i got an 02 6 speed max and lately i heard a humming noise when turning left for the past week now. lifted the car checked it and saw my passenger side axle cv boot was completely torn away both inner and outter so i had a 04 maxima passenger side axle lying around threw that it and it fit but the three bolts that screw in the plate half way through didnt line up but didnt think that it was that serious nd had no other option. so i bolted everything back together and now when i turn left i hear a series of legit bumps. the faster im going while making the turn the worse it gets?/
any ideas
please help i mean its bearable to an extent just want to make sure my car isnt going to break while turning

from the sound it feel it seems like its coming from the driver side or directly under the gas pedal area isk what it may be and hopin someone can help
thanks

The center of the axle is getting torqued and will probably cause more damage. You need to get the correct axle my friend.

The axle is probably slamming into the support bearing. Think about this for a minute...you install the wrong axle and don't connect the main support bearing...nothing good could have come from that.

It's like me installing one bolt in my brake caliper and wondering why my braking is all jacked up.....
