It sounds like your inner cv joint. It was probably already shot, and when you lowered the car it made it worse. Just swap the driver side with the passenger side, and it should fix your issue.

sounds like a dumb idea but set some spacers for the rear axles when you lowered it the rear axles were put in a bind and pulled just slightly (i mean millimeters) there are two in my area who we pulled the rear axles and put in j's racing spacers and it was all good!

i just went through this myself, with espilar springs also..it is definatly your inboard cv joints. with this you have some options, if you prefer to do it yourself you can just swap your inboard joints from left to right. its actually very easy. or you can just buy some new axles from car stuff
