Strange axle noise

Hey guys was wondering if any of you have experienced this problem. When I drop my car (with D2s) more than say about a finger and a half gap in the front and accelerate while turning left, I get a clunking noise from the passenger side axle

Compared to other maximas Ive seen my car really isnt that low nor am I trying to go that low. I installed raxles about 2 years ago and in the past Ive just raised the car till the noise goes away but I really am curious as to whats causing it. I actually made a hole in the CV boot and threw a ton of synthetic lithium grease in in case some was lacking... didnt fix the problem.

Im also curious as to whether this is a manual v auto issue.. are the positions of the axles coming out of each tranny the same? It seems autos can drop lower with no problems like this.. maybe its just my car.. i dunno

I know exactly of the noise you are talking about. I had it as well when I was lowered an excessive amount. To cure it I just raised the car back up to where the noise went away. My vehicle is a m/t as well.
