It just the inner cv joint...not the whole axle. Well known s2k problem. Very easy and cheap solution:
You swap the left inner CV to the right side of the car and vis versa. Ghetto sounding I know, but it works. Only cost is time.
What happens is that over time the roller bearings form wear marks on the race surfaces inside the cv. When you lowered the car, you shifted the natural resting point of the spider gear so that the roller bearings are on a fresh new surface but so close to the old rough surface that they vibrate as the roller trammels across the two surfaces. The spacers will probably help in that it pushes the spider well clear of the old wear mark. But you don't need them if you just do the cv swap I mentioned. Swapping the cvs gives a brand new surface for the rollers to press against...however, the old wear mark will still be there for reverse...so just don't accellerate really fast in reverse

.My understanding is that it takes quite a while to damage th CV's
