Default Clunking sound on my axles...98 civic...

Alright so recently i replaced both my axles at the shop and everything went fine.
Until a few weeks later, after i washed my car, i started hearing a clunk clunk clunk sound under my pedals. It sounded like everytime after i gas it, and the car rolls, I would hear this clunk clunk clunk sound. The sound gets even louder when im turning right. So then i checked under the car to see what was wrong. I tugged and shook on every single part to see if anything was loose. The cv boots weren't leaking either. The only thing that caught my attention was that something might be leaking under the transmission. It might have just been from the recent oil change i did on it.

I asked my friends what they thought was wrong and they said maybe the shop gave me some faulty cv joints, or since I have ABS, they installed the axle without abs.

So what do you guys think is wrong? Should i just try to tighten everything?

I have a similar issue with my driver side axle. I inspected them both on Saturday because of a suspicious clunk noise and strange transmission sound. The gap between the driver side shaft and tranny case seems to be where the fluid is leaking but the snap ring looked fine when I popped the axle out.

Haha...not in my case. My wheels come off almost weekly. I'm certain it's not that. (for me anyways)
