Default JDM DC2 BRAKES VIBRATION WHEN TURNING LEFT

OK, well some of you may have read my last thread about which axle to use since I have the JDM 36mm hub. Well I tried the prelude axle and it made everything worse so I finally found a shop that sold me a set of used OEM type r axles which I had then rebuilt. Put them in everything was good drove straight fine the minute I went to take a left turn and slightly turning steering wheel you start to feel a vibration like crazy. And you can hear it like something was stopping the wheel from moving so it was trying to force itself to move. ANY IDEAS on what it can be??? ME and a friend have been going back and forth trying to figure out what it could be and were both stumped with no light ahead. Any help would be appreciated.

info on car:
LS tranny
LS/VTEC motor
ABS removed
BWR suspension
Everything else stock!

Chances are, the cv shaft has something to do with the vibration. When the cv shaft is installed properly there should be no freeplay except for the ballbearing joints joining the shaft to the input shafts. The joints should slide smoothly.

If the cv shaft is good, then look in to your tie rods. There should be no freeplay in the tie rods or tie rod ends either.

Ok, so apparently it wasn't even my right side making noises it was the left side. My dads friend rode in the car with me and said it's the left side we jacked up the car and said look at how much the wheel moves up and down. He said the axle nut isn't pulling the axle all the way in so I need to add a washer behind it so it stiffens it up more... For what it's worth I'm gonna try it out already got the washer just need to get a 36mm impact socket in the am.
