Icon2 CRX with b18a1 swap Axle/ Driveshaft Problem

My LS CRX has been giving me the bugs. Lately I've been driving it around and usually when i go cruising in the road at a constant speed ( lets say 50mph,) I let off the pedal and press on the gas slowly (For Example: going 50mph then letting it go from 49mph back to 50mph) I here this certain noise. I keep releasing the pedal and pressing it and I keep hearing it. I thought it was my shocks but it aint. I uploaded a video and tell me if my axles are ok or junked. My Left driveshaft has been replace a few months back. Havnt replace the right one though. If you guys can help me it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I will try to upload one while Im driving.

Sounds like your radius rods may be clunking around. Did you take them out when you were doing the swap? Id' recommend retightening the two bolts that go into the lower control arm. Tighten the sh*t out of them.

Pulling one up from the past....

This is quite similar to my CRX noise issue. Is it normal for the driveshaft to move in and out and up and down as it enters the transmission? I am getting between 1/8 and 3/16 play.
