Default Front end help?

i have a jdm h22a swap in my 92 accord, for now i have the accord cv shafts instead of the lude ones, cause i'm going boost and am saving up to buy the fidanza shafts... ive been driving the swaped accord now for like 4 months and it has been running smothly... but yesterday i pulled a few sharp turns and out of the blue the alignment is off and it shakes when i cut the wheel to the right.. i can feel it click and clunk on the drivers side.. but it happens when i let the clutch out too... ive had cv's go before and it didnt' quite feel like this... the car is also lowered and has a camber kit... and last night i got it up on a lift and everythng seemed secure except the uper ball joint boot was ripped and the cv shaft itself seemed like it had some "extra play in it" but everything else seemed tight.. please help?

yeah.. thanks for the response, is it possible for the shaft just to be that bad without any previous nocking or anything? have you ever had a shaft go and mess up the alignment? thanks!
